State-Changed-When: Tue Aug 27 06:45:50 PDT 2002 
State-Changed-Why:  
The only references to lkm(4) from these manual pages state that they 
replace the old functionality of lkm(4).  They do not suggest that 
lkm(4) is still part of FreeBSD. 

I see little value in removing the (4) from references to the old lkm(4) 
- there is no suggestion that this manual page still exists. 

On the other hand, if we keep the (4), it allows provides a reference to 
the old functionality for people with old systems, a CVS repository, 
etc. 

Please let me know what you think of these suggestions and how you think 
we would gain from removing the (4). 

Thanks, 
Tom
