Then if I have to do this in multiple steps, can I upgrade to current as
it was before you changed out the bdevs-cdevs (I'll hunt down the commit)
and do that in one step, get it working, then MAKEDEV and do another step
taking it the rest of the way to current?
I don't want to move it with no ability to fall back on an old kernel, as
I step it towards current.
