Btw, any good reasons to keep SVR4 support for FreeBSD 12?

I recently reviewed some socket code and noticed, that having SVR4-compatible
sockets we need COMPAT_OLDSOCK to be compiled in, which isn't in GENERIC, of
course. Thus doing just 'kldload svr4' on GENERIC won't allow to create
SVR4 compatible sockets. Not even mentioning that COMPAT_OLDSOCK is probably
broken since nobody needs it and it has no regression tests.
