I just tried to set up a v6 tunnel on an RPI1 running netbsd-8, which seemed to me to be a perfectly normal thing to do. It failed, with EINVAL, and on reading the kernel config I see gif and all other pseudo-interfaces are commented out. I see a lot of these in GENERIC.common, but not gif. A number of these are dups with what is in RPI. Of course, gif is what I wanted, but it seems small, on the order of 10KB, and it seems that being a network appliance is a fairly common thing. I of course realize it's easy for me to make a new kernel, and to set up to load the gif module at boot (but I can't later due to secmodel). I wonder if anyone would object to cleaning up RPI by removing things that are in GENERIC.common (NFC). Also to moving gif to GENERIC.common, adn turning it on. Or is there some larger reason?
