MPSAFE - Warning

[Matthew T. Lager]

I too receive this error. I require the use of KAME IPSEC. Basiclly,
services such as IPV6 and IPSEC require the kernel to be GIANT locked,
which is incompatable with MPSAFE. 5.3 forces MPSAFE to 0 if the system is
GIANT locked, hence the warning.

I backed down to 5.2.1 and ran IPSEC with no problems. I actually did
experience many issues with my IPSEC tunnel in 5.3. I beleive a GIANT FREE
IPV6/IPSEC implementation is a requirement for the 5.4 release, hopefully
we see it soon in the -STABLE tree, keep an eye on freebsd.org/releng as
it is listed as a project in the TODO list (at least for IPSEC)...
