HEADSUP: Removal of the ARMADAXP kernel config

One month ago I proposed to make INTRNG a requirement on armv6 with a list of kernel configurations that failed to build when this is the case. Since then most of these configurations have either been fixed, or have a fix in review, however there is one configuration left, ARMADAXP.

As nobody has written patches, or even commented they will be working on them I have to assume this code is unmaintained and holding back the rest of FreeBSD/armv6. As such I will be removing the kernel config next week to make way for enabling INTRNG by default on armv6. 

If someone makes a serious proposal that they are willing to port this to INTRNG I will hold off, however I would expect to see some progress on this soon as to not hold back further cleanups in the code.
