> * BSD has no issues with out-of-tree modules and
> * There are no in-tree equivalents for those modules in BSD

> there is no point in building for BSD without those modules.

> Therefore, we can remove the enable_kmods option, always building the
> kmods for BSD.
>
> We can also remove the infrastructure for Linux kmods too, since use of
> out-of-tree modules for Linux is not something the DPDK project wants to
> pursue in future.
