I think the culprit was this change, which somehow didn't have an
accompanying change to any documentation (most notably options(4) still
documents all the removed settings):

revision 1.65

Create a new sysv_ipc module to contain the SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and
SYSVMSG options. Move associated variables out of param.c and into
the module's source file.
----------------------------
This commit adds a great big ugly "#if XXX_PRG" around all the related
SysV IPC settings in sys/conf/param.c, i.e. it entirely removes all
support for "options SEMMNI=NNN" and related.
That entire block of code should have been removed, not just #ifdef'd
My bad, I will fix. Unfortunately I have some personal business to
attend to tonight and tomorrow, so it might be a couple of days before
I can get to it.
The real underlying problem may be that none of the SysV IPC options
from options(4) where ever properly set up with "defflag" or "defparam"
in the appropriate "files" file (sys/kern/files.kern probably), or as we
used to say, they were never "defopt'ed" for config. See config(5).
Having "options FOO=1234" worked without "defparam" if the use was in
sys/conf/param.c, but it doesn't seem to work with the new regime.
Maybe it would work again if "defparam" lines were added to the right
place.
Yeah, all of these params should have been defparam'd into opt_sysv.h Again,
I will fix as soon as I can get to it, within the next couple of
days.
I will also request pullups to -8
Thanks, Greg, for the detailed analysis and suggestions!
