My recent change to the ipl functions in -CURRENT means that alpha kld
modules will need to be recompiled before rebooting with a kernel
built from version 1.14 or greater of sys/alpha/alpha/ipl_funcs.c.
Klds will need to be recompiled because now that the spl functions are
inlines, their symbols will not be present in the kernel.

This is a good time to rebuild your modules anyway, as pal.s will be
going away shortly.
