RTEMS-libbsd freebsd-org submodule would require update in order to import genet drivers. Suggestions?

[Thomas DOERFLER]

Hi,

if I get things right the update policy of freebsd is currently stuck 
within the RTEMS community. There are objections regarding the way 
libbsd has been created/adapted to RTEMS in the past but no real 
decision how/who would provide/maintain a different way.

I think this is a really bad situation. And it doesn't only block work 
from other volunteers, but also blocks required security updates.

I would vote for keeping and using the established way intact as long as 
we have no alternative accepted, implemented and maintained in the main 
branch. But this is only my opinion, any others are welcome to speak up.

wkr,

Thomas.
