Why?  "If it isn't broken, why fix it?"

The conflict affects x86_64-*-freebsd aka amd64.  The
conflict does not affect any other architecture.  The
Makefile infrastructure can use MACHINE_ARCH to exclude
drm2 from build of amd64.

I don't use netgraph or any of the if_*.ko modules.
Can we put all of that into ports?  I don't use any
scsi controllers, so those can go too.  Why make it
insanely fun for users to configure a FreeBSD system.
