Re: qe missing config reference to if_uba

netbsd-10 is already a branch. Any work on current will never show up an 
a branch unless an explicit pull is done into that branch, which is what 
nrg was asking about.

I double checked the tarball, fetching a fresh copy from cdn.netbsd.org [1], and it contains dev/qbus/files.uba version 1.17, dated Mar 11, 2008.  10.1 was released Dec 16, 2024.  I wasn't sure how to check when 10.1 was frozen/forked or whatever and so am unsure if the source tarball is missing Rin's fix due to an oversight or due to branching/forking/release practices.

Since these drivers are included in GENERIC and because the fix for those compiling a custom kernel is "easy" and well documented here at this point, I don't see any reason for special handling/inclusion/publication and feel that the standard handling/release process is probably ok.  But, again, I'm a little unclear of the particulars.  Maybe one of the more senior port-vax participants like Johnny or Ragge should comment here?
