Description:
Revisions 214831 and 214761 (in HEAD), MFCed as 221612 into stable/8, change
number of function arguments and size of sttructures, used by 3rd party USB2COM
modules, without bumping OSVERSION.
As result, old 3rd party modules (like umcs7840) could be (and will be)
loaded which leads to almost immedate kernel panic.
Other porblem is, that there is no way for modules authors to distingusih old
and new API in sources.
How-To-Repeat:
Upgrade system without recompiling `comms/umcs7840' module, reboot.
Fix:
I don't know. Bump OSVERSION, maybe?
