Urgh. There was a time when the driver was shared among deveral OSs,
among them FreeBSD. The BSD world ain't gonna like this for practical
reasons, the consequence is that they'll either stop merging patches
from Linux or remove the sym driver from their GENERIC kernels if they
want your patches.
Of course, he who writes the code gets to determine the license, hence
no plea to revert this change, but I'd like to know why this change has
been made.
