It depends if the eventual aim of this is to just have multi-FIB

I guess there's a lot better fish to fry.

What about any extra support code that's compiled into the kernel for
this feature? I'm becoming very footprint conscious now that I'm
bringing up FreeBSD on modern embedded RAM/flash challenged devices.
