Cvsupped a couple of hours ago my amd64-current, rebuilt/reinstalled world/kernel. The kernel is GENERIC without COMPAT_LINUX32, LINPROCFS, LINSYSFS. But linux.ko hadn't been built. Should I cvsup once more or did I miss something? I'd tested kib@ patches (about two weeks ago) and noticed that linux kernel module can't be unloaded _after_ mounting/unmounting linprocfs, linsysfs or linux devfs.

No objection from my part (though I'm only a ports committer). Thanks for taking care of it.
