So remove the =20 compat.linux stuff here and you are safe. Feel free to use the =20 hw.snd.maxautovchans sysctl as an example (there are different default =20 values in -current than in some releases, I don't remember if I MFCed =20 the new default value to 6.2). Adding an explanation to the linux chapter would be nice (except for =20 the panic part, this is specific to -current if you already have some =20 linux programs running and then change the osrelease). If you want to =20 change the linux chapter I try to come up with other missing facts for =20 this chapter (I have to read it when I get a little bit of time).
