Softupdates will certainly not be included in the GENERIC kernel.
The files might be included in the contrib directory, as they have
been for now, but they have to be explicitly copied / linked into
the right place, and "option SOFTUPDATES" added to the kernel by hand.
(cf. Kirk McKusick's license).
Moreover, softupdates are still a bit soft on the edges :-),
particularly with SMP. I would say "experimental", until further
tested.
