>Description:
	Add a requires line to /sys/amd64/conf/NOTES
	( To avoid others tripping up on this as I did:
	For those who enable COMPAT_IA32 for ports/emulators, but disable
	COMPAT_FREEBSD7 as they compile all binaries on upgrade )

	As of Fri Apr 23 14:37:14 CEST 2010
	COMPAT_FREEBSD7 is not mentioned in { 8.0-RELEASE stable current } 
	/sys/amd64/conf/NOTES
	so this will probably apply for all 3, but Ive only tested
	the dependency on 8.0-RELEASE)
