riastradh | Remove MKCRYPTO option.
Originally, MKCRYPTO was introduced because the United States
classified cryptography as a munition and restricted its export. The
export controls were substantially relaxed fifteen years ago, and are
essentially irrelevant for software with published source code.
In the intervening time, nobody bothered to remove the option after
its motivation -- the US export restriction -- was eliminated. I'm
not aware of any other operating system that has a similar option; I
expect it is mainly out of apathy for churn that we still have it.
Today, cryptography is an essential part of modern computing -- you
can't use the internet responsibly without cryptography.
The position of the TNF board of directors is that TNF makes no
representation that MKCRYPTO=no satisfies any country's cryptography
regulations.
My personal position is that the availability of cryptography is a
basic human right; that any local laws restricting it to a privileged
few are fundamentally immoral; and that it is wrong for developers to
spend effort crippling cryptography to work around such laws.
As proposed on tech-crypto, tech-security, and tech-userlevel to no
objections:

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-security/2017/05/06/msg000928.html
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2017/05/06/msg010547.html
P.S. Reviewing all the uses of MKCRYPTO in src revealed a lot of
*bad* crypto that was conditional on it, e.g. DES in telnet... That
should probably be removed too, but on the grounds that it is bad,
not on the grounds that it is (nominally) crypto.

khorben | This is the i386 version of the support for full-disk encryption; this commit allows building the ramdisk required as well as the associated kernel module (to be loaded in the kernel by the bootloader).
This was tested on my Lenovo ThinkPad X301 just like for the amd64 port.

Put the GENERIC kernel onto i386 installation CDs and load a kernel module
from the boot loader to provide the miniroot.

As has been pointed out recently, the list of i386 release kernels needs
updating. Probably to an ACPI kernel that need not fit into an 'emulated floppy'
and a 'legacy' kernel that will fit.
In any case the small/tiny kernels which are really for i386 systems with
< 16MB of memory (some are sized for a 5.25" floppy) don't need to be built.
Remove bootfloppy-small, bootfloppy-tiny, rescue-tiny and bootfloppy-ps2
and associated ramdisks.
