FreeBSD Project-provided repositories for kernel modules in the ports collection
<https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1hd2h51/freebsd_projectprovided_repositories_for_kernel/>
β I should advise awaiting an official announcement before attempting to use overlay repos such as these.
γCredit to monwarez for raising awareness.γ
Thanks to @FreeBSDFoundation @emaste and others for works in progress.

γBuilding a ported kernel module, where the Project-provided package is inferiorγ
For readers with a passing interest: to the best of my knowledge, freebsd-update(8) is simply not usable β not testable β with FreeBSD-CURRENT (from the main branch) or STABLE (branches where degrees of testing occur, parallel to short-lived releng branches).

So the gist of is_module() would be that it would have different semantics than IS_MODULE(): it could be used to e.g. check modules in a loop.
Compilation would generate a new ELF section with following entries:
<ASCIIZ string><0 or 1>
The string would contain module name.
Also, it would enabled to add lsmod -b to enumerate built-in modules, which give nice way to carve up more information about a running test kernel. This would obviously need perhaps a new file to procfs for built-in modules (for regular there is /proc/modules).
I guess recent crypto bug can be sorted otherwise but this feels useful enough to document it.
