Yeah. There's some confusion as to how things really should be
named. For many ports, GENERIC is the `has everything' kernel.
However, on the alpha port this is the ALPHA kernel; the GENERIC
is more like an `enough to get going' kernel.

What's the NetBSD `standard' for what goes into each type of kernel?
