In case you are foolishly tracking -current without reading the CVS logs,
you might want to be aware that the default just changed such that you get
GEOM unless you explicitly specify NO_GEOM in your kernel configuration
file.  The pre-defined kernel configs in the base tree all specify
NO_GEOM, so if you're just tracking GENERIC, you'll get the same non-GEOM
behavior you had before.  If you're using a custom kernel config and don't
want GEOM, you'll need to add NO_GEOM.  Since GEOM will be the default for
5.0-RELEASE, it's advisable to run with GEOM now so you find the problems
sooner rather than later. :-)
