+ DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is
+ now i386 and amd64 only.
+ dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new
+ kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap.
+ No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable
+ userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and
+ 'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want
+ to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack).

The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new
aibs(4) driver. You should update your kernel configuration file.
