System: NetBSD speedy.whooppee.com 7.99.42 NetBSD 7.99.42 (SPEEDY 2016-11-04 07:29:45) #0: Sat Nov 5 18:09:20 PHT 2016 paul@speedy.whooppee.com:/build/netbsd-local/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/SPEEDY amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
Rump kerneles are built with only COMPAT_50 and above.  Thus it is not
possible to test some things such as ioctl argument conversions (such as
those defined in sys/compat/common/if_43.c).

>How-To-Repeat:
Build a rump kernel.

>Fix:
Update rump build to include all compatability options in every rump kernel.

Alternatively, update rump to include _NO_ compatability options, and allow
the rump kernel to load a default compat module (which includes all of the
COMPAT_xx options).
