Does this mean I can no longer rely on #ifdef TROUT in the kernel
sources locally to bring in (or out) new code that is specific only to
my box.  I have certain portions of the SCSI code I *have* to change due
to HW bugs in my system, and this has been the 'BSD' way of doing things
since early 4.1 days.
