Log:
The recent issues with em(4) interface has shown that the old 4.4BSD
if_watchdog/if_timer interface doesn't fit modern SMP network
stack design.
Device drivers that need watchdog to monitor their hardware should
implement it theirselves.
Eventually the if_watchdog/if_timer API will be removed. For now,
warn that driver uses it.

Did I miss a headsup on this? Seems like something you should
coordinate with folks so people can convert drivers beforehand. I
understand the problem and I see this is just a printf but now we're
going to have people asking what's going on.

I didn't expect Gleb to act so quickly on this, but I'm very glad that
he did. Sorry it was a suprise. Would it help if he or I added an
UPDATING entry and a mailing list announcement about it?
