Is there a plan to add these options to amd64 GENERIC? If evdev is the 
path forward for modern hardware (is that the correct assessment?), are 
we moving towards including it on our install media?

Also, in case anyone's interested, I have a Jenkins job producing EVDEV 
base packages daily. The package repository, should anyone else want to 
use it for testing, is at https://allendale.engr.mun.ca/freebsd-evdev. 
This repo is built daily with the following script:

```
export 
MINE=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/trombonehero/freebsd/evdev-support
export KERNCONF=EVDEV
fetch \
	${MINE}/sys/amd64/conf/${KERNCONF} \
     ${MINE}/sys/amd64/conf/${KERNCONF}-NODEBUG \
     -o sys/amd64/conf/

export KERNCONF=${KERNCONF}-NODEBUG

nice make -j32 buildworld
nice make -j32 buildkernel
nice make packages
```
