      vm_page: Bump __FreeBSD_version for removal of vm_page_next() and _prev
      Out-of-tree code needs to be modified to use iterators after commit
      a3a88ed22cb1.
      Fixes:  a3a88ed22cb1 ("vm_page: drop prev and next")

Hmm, would it be better for out-of-tree code to use the __FreeBSD_version that
introduces the new API as the version to switch behavior on rather than the
removal of the old API?  I tend to follow this practice when patching ports for
API changes in new-bus, etc.

In this case, I'm not sure that would be better: the iterator interface
has changed a bit since it was introduced and in particular the layout
of the iterator structure -- part of the KBI -- has changed since it was
introduced.  So, using an old value of __FreeBSD_version felt a bit
sketchy here.

Ok, fair enough.
