Hi,

These don't work with drm-*-kmod, the new names are:
compat.linuxkpi.enable_rc6, compat.linuxkpi.semaphores, etc.

And yeah, loader.conf is of course the right place.

You can run 'sysctl -a | grep enable_rc6' — if you see drm.i915, 
you're on the old module, if you see compat.linuxkpi, you're on the new 
one.
