I've checked that in (with some additional material in the BPF section
- it appears top-of-tree {Free,Net,Open}BSD all dynamically allocate
BPF data structures on opens, so if they do cloning and/or have devfs,
no configuration should be necessary as long as they all configure in
BPF by default; I didn't see "pseudo-device bpf" in the top-of-tree
GENERIC file for OpenBSD - did I miss something?).

No, that probably belongs in the Developer's Guide (most users won't
be building from SVN).
