Disable svr4 and ibcs2 by default.
These options are not well-tested, of a limited use case, and the potential
for damage is too high. Vulnerabilities were presented at DEFCON 25 - I see
that at least one of them can be exploited to get ring0 privileges.
--
Remove compat_freebsd from the list of autoloaded modules. Interested users
will now have to type 'modload' to use it, or uncomment the entry in
GENERIC. I should have removed it when I disabled COMPAT_FREEBSD by
default, sorry about that.
--
Remove compat_svr4, compat_svr4_32 and compat_ibcs2 from the list of
autoloaded modules. These options are disabled everywhere (except ibcs2
on Vax, but Vax does not support kernel modules, so doesn't matter),
therefore there is no issue in removing them from the list. Interested
users will now have to do a 'modload' first, or uncomment the entries in
GENERIC.
