Re-enable CTL in GENERIC on i386 and amd64, but turn on the CTL disable
tunable by default. This will allow GENERIC configurations to boot on small memory boxes, but not require end users who want to use CTL to recompile their kernel. They can simply set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0 in loader.conf. The eventual solution to the memory usage problem is to change the way CTL allocates memory to be more configurable, but this should fix things for small memory situations in the mean time. UPDATING: Explain the change in the CTL configuration, and how users can enable CTL if they would like to use it. sys/conf/options: Add a new option, CTL_DISABLE, that prevents CTL from initializing. ctl.c: If CTL_DISABLE is turned on, don't initialize. i386/conf/GENERIC, amd64/conf/GENERIC: Re-enable device ctl, and add the CTL_DISABLE option.
