svn commit: r248544 - in stable/9/sys: amd64/conf conf i386/conf

[Bryan Venteicher]

New Revision: 248544
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/248544

Log:
  MFC 247870:
  
      Remove the virtio dependency entry for the VirtIO device drivers. This
      will prevent the kernel from linking if the device driver are included
      without the virtio module. Remove pci and scbus for the same reason.
  
      Also explain the relationship and necessity of the virtio and virtio_pci
      modules. Currently in FreeBSD, we only support VirtIO PCI, but it could
      be replaced with a different interface (like MMIO) and the device
      (network, block, etc) will still function.
