How about making a comment about the requirement in the GENERIC
config file, in a manner used for device 'ed' or  device 'sbp' for 
example?

...
options         INET6                   # IPv6 communications 
protocols
options         SCTP                    # Stream Control Transmission 
Protocol
                                                  # SCTP requires 
'options INET6'
options         FFS
...

Or are the comments about in requirement at 'GENERIC' phased out?
