I don't have any comments on the specific patch, but with my FreeBSD
end-user hat, being able to have CARP in GENERIC would be really
great.  This would allow me to update my systems which use CARP with
freebsd-update without manually compiling a kernel.

So if the patch doesn't penalize the non-CARP case much, I think it
would be great to have this functionality for now, even if it's not
the way to go in the long run.
