modify the sys/conf/files

Hi,

I use the FreeBSD current source code, and add below line in sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC:
device ixl
Then run “make buildkernel” and there will be linking error. And I find that only the sys/dev/ixl/if_ixl.c is compiled into object file, other c files in sys/dev/ixl/ directory are not compiled.

After do some research, I finally find that the sys/conf/files seems have something wrong. I can build kernel successfully after apply the attached patch file.

That solution is not quite right either.  I have a pending patch to move it to amd64 only and fix things.  I'll paste it in here later today.

This is the proposed updated patch which will probably be committed the next 24 hours.  If you can please test and report back.

Log:
  As per [1] Intel only supports this driver on 64bit platforms.
  For now restrict it to amd64.  Other architectures might be
  re-added later once tested.

  Remove the drivers from the global NOTES and files files and move
  them to the amd64 specifics.
  Remove the drivers from the i386 modules build and only leave the
  amd64 version.

  Rather than depending on "inet" depend on "pci" and make sure that
  ixl(4) and ixlv(4) can be compiled independently [2].  This also
  allows the drivers to build properly on IPv4-only or IPv6-only
  kernels.

    Revert changes to shared code of the ixl and ixlv drivers to allow
    for easier long-term maintainability.

    Restrict the drivers to building on amd64 for now as it is
    only tested on that 64bit architecture.

    Just depend on PCI and neither INET nor INET6; also make sure we
    can build individual drivers and they do not depend on each other
    anymore.

Thanks a lot for reporting.  Upcoming 10.1-R and HEAD should both be fine now.
