Sure. BTW, I cd'd into /usr/freebsd-base-graphics/sys/modules (my drm-next src
is in /usr/freebsd-base-graphics), ran make, then copied the ipfw/ipfw.ko file
to /boot/kernel and was able to start ipfw after that.

***** make.conf *****
KERNCONF=       TAVION

ALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE= yes
BATCH=          yes

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=      linux=c6
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=      ssl=openssl

COMPAT5X=       yes
COMPAT6X=       yes
COMPAT7X=       yes
COMPAT8X=       yes
COMPAT9X=       yes

***** src.conf ***** -- doesn't exit
