Changes from NetBSD 4.0 to NetBSD 5.0:
	iwi(4): Use firmload(9) to load firmware images. You no longer need to
		use iwictl(8) to load the firmware. [skrll 20060809]
	acorn32: Remove the old, pre-wscons, console code.  Kernel
		configurations using the old console (kbd, vt, and vidcconsole)
		will need to be updated to use wscons. [bjh21 20060814]

		ported by Jean-Baptiste Campesato. [simonb 20060818]
	acorn32: Correctly detect the display refresh rate being used under
		RISC OS and look for a matching mode in a list of standard
		video modes.  This removes the requirement for compiling
		RISC OS monitor definitions into the kernel. [bjh21 20060820]
	netns: Support for XNS in the kernel and userspace has been
		removed. [matt 20060825]

	i386: Change GENERIC, GENERIC.MP, GENERIC.MPACPI, GENERIC_LAPTOP,
		INSTALL, INSTALL.MP, INSTALL_LAPTOP, and DISKLESS kernels
		so that they are smaller and faster by removing support
		for actual i386 CPUs (which lack write protection in
		supervisor mode, which requires a costly workaround) and
		math coprocessor emulation.  Coprocessor emulation is
		retained in the LAPTOP kernels, but not in the others.
		Where it is known that a configuration cannot be run
		with particular CPUs (i486 in *MP kernels) remove that
		support as well.  Compile all kernels with appropriate
		architecture and tuning flags (reduces size, makes things
		faster).  Those requiring support for machines with i386
		CPU or lacking coprocessor can use the *SMALL or *TINY
		kernels. [tls 20061101]
