Hello Yar,

This commit appears to break bootstrapping -CURRENT from RELENG_6 and 
6.2-RELEASE.  I'm not exactly sure why and will continue to investigate.

Right now I'm getting errors (EINVAL) and panics at boot time in ifconfig 
when trying to configure interfaces after upgrading the kernel from 6.2 to 
HEAD for the first time.
