This is a good example: making a copy of GENERIC some time in the
past, and forgetting to update it when you upgrade the whole OS. :)
In the latest version of GENERIC, ataraid is included by default.

Maybe it would be nice to have a system for this, like what is used
for /etc/rc.conf, i.e. making your kernel config file simply include
GENERIC, and then only adding/removing those items you want to be
changed from the defaults.
