I'm willing to crank it down to 5 sec in HEAD.  However, before I go 
changing a whole bunch of identical lines in nearly identical GENERIC
files, I'd like to see GENERIC get split into several sub-modules that
live in /sys/conf and can be included instead of constantly duplicated.
i.e.

/sys/conf:
/SCSI
/BLOCK
/NIC
/USB
/FIREWIRE

etc.

Again, only for HEAD, not for RELENG_5.  Thoughts?
