Hi Ed,

Since this now causes VMware kernel modules to insta-panic the kernel,
it might be nice to put some warning in UPDATING, at least.  Luckily
__FreeBSD_version got bumped by Adrian in r310149 for something
unrelated, but this is definitely something to notify maintainers of
ports (with kernel modules) about too.
