HEADS UP: add "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" to your kernel config!

[Ruslan Ermilov]

All,

Make sure to add "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" to your custom kernel
config files, or things like X.Org will refuse to work with the
new kernel that includes fixed ioctl(2) API.  Recompiling the
relevant ports is another option.

  Log:
  The ioctl(2) API has changed, and some ioctl command codes too.
  Hint users to add "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" to their kernel config
  files, so that X.Org and friends still work without recompiling.
