Log:
  MFC r332966: Add deprecation notice for lmc(4)
  
  We intend to remove support before FreeBSD 12 is branched.  These are
  available only as 32-bit PCI devices.  The driver has an ambiguous
  license and I have not been successful in contacting the driver's author
  in order to address this.
  
  The planned deprecation has been announced on -current and -stable; if
  we receive feedback that the driver is still useful and we are able to
  resolve the license issue this deprecation notice can be reverted.
