+ Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and
+ apparently causing more problems than it solves. This will
+ re-open the issue where interrupt handlers may race with
+ kbdmux(4) in polling mode. Typical symptoms include (but
+ not limited to) duplicated and/or missing characters when
+ low level console functions (such as gets) are used while
+ interrupts are enabled (for example geli password prompt,
+ mountroot prompt etc.). Disabling kbdmux(4) may help.

The size of structs vnet_net, vnet_inet and vnet_ipfw has changed;
kernel modules referencing any of the above need to be recompiled.
