I submitted this proposal to arch@ to enable VIMAGE by default in GENERIC:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2014-November/016282.html

Would it be possible for portmgr to:

(1)  Choose a ports building machine running CURRENT.
(2)  Enable the options in the kernel config specified in the above URL.
(3)  Reboot this machine with the VIMAGE enabled kernel.
(4)  Do a ports building exp-run on this machine

There are kernel ABI changes when VIMAGE is enabled.  This affects
ports like emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod .  There may be others, so it would
be useful to find out during the exp-run.

Over to responsible parties.

Hi,

- Why do you want VNET_DEBUG option?  (we don't want to kill the performance of the builders)

- I'm not sure that the test will be able to catch kernel ABI change breakages,  for instance in emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod,  VIMAGE is an option provided by the port,  it's not an option taken from the running kernel
