Dear all:

This is a reminder e-mail that, in the very near future, Giant
compatibility shims for network protocols will be removed.

How, if at all, will this affect qemu users? qemu exits unless
AIO is present in the kernel (or aio.ko has been kldload-ed). In
FreeBSD 6.2, AIO results in a warning message at boot time that says
AIO is not MPSAFE and that therefore the networking stack will take a
deep performance hit.
