Hello, Freebsd-geom.

  Why some modules have geom_<name>(4) man page and others have
 g<name>(8)?

   Again, is it intentional or historical?

   Maybe, we need to link all geom_<name>(4) to g<name>(8) and vice
versa? It is good to be able to "man <modulename>" and don't "guess"
that geom_<name>.ko is documented in g<name>(8).

   I could provide patches for this -- but maybe I don't understand
 something and all these differences are intentional?
