Other unfortunate differences between the -stable and -current GENERICs:

1. -current has better comments
2. -current has less quoting (-stable probably can't be improved here
   because -current probably depends on the new options processing).
3. -current has FAILSAFE.  FAILSAFE is only used in ncr.c in -current.
   Some old Toshiba disks fail unsafely without it.
4. -current doesn't have ahc1.  I'm not sure if stable has enough ahc
   config stuff for ahc1 to be necessary or harmful.
5. sio3 is soft-disabled in -current.
6. psm0 is hard-disabled (useless without a kernel rebuild) in -stable.
7. Some devices are in -stable but not in GENERIC.  These should at
   least be in the file, commented out.
8. -stable doesn't have KTRACE.
