This change also makes things slightly annoying if you used `MODULES_OVERRIDE+=ixgbe` previously in src.conf or $KERNCONF stable/9 and stable/10. I'll see if I can implement a backwards compatibility shim for stable/9 and stable/10 at least, because I've been bitten by this once today with a dumbed down kernel config..
