I haven't considered that an option since two issues were found
related to my mega-commit.  One was that if_gif wouln't load due
to unresolved symbols if built w/o INET6.  The other was in the
pf module -- pflog would be lost as it didn't have a separate module.

The essence of the first issue is that the set of source files
for a module cannot depend on kernel options, unlike for the main
kernel file.

The second issue has to do with the fact that pflog is more to
a plain option than to a device, as there are `#ifdef DEV_PFLOG'
lines in the pf code conditionalizing the pflog feature.
