OK, thanks to you and Warner for clarifying.

When checking sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC on -HEAD, I found the following
items which are not in sys/{.,x86,amd64}/conf/NOTES:

device ocs_fc
device tws
device ufshci
device aq
device vge

option EXTERR_STRINGS
option IPSEC_OFFLOAD
option FIB_ALGO
option PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE
option KDTRACE_FRAME
option DDB_CTF
option RACCT_DEFAULT_TO_DISABLED
option AH_AR5416_INTERRUPT_MITIGATION

Should they be added?
