rG5833253dad65: linux(4): Get rid of Linuxulator kernel build options.
rGe013e36939ac: linux(4): Get rid of Linuxulator kernel build options.

Summary

Stop confusing people and retire COMPAT_LINUX and COMPAT_LINUX32 kernel
build options. Since we have 64-bit Linux emulation we can't build both
emulators into the kernel. And I don't think it matters, Linux emulation
depends on loadable modules (via rc).

Cut LINPROCFS and LINSYSFS for consistency.

I haven't removed opt_compat.h, maybe we should as there no any COMPAT
option left.

dchagin changed the repository for this revision from rS FreeBSD src repository - subversion to rG FreeBSD src repository.

To make sure I understand this: this change is to no longer allow Linuxulator to be built into the kernel, and only allow it to be built as a module?
