9b7a21de42 Correct some misuses of "its" and "it's". 
Also expand some contractions of the same, discovered while I was
hunting down all of the above.

This commit can very likely be ignored by translation teams, as I doubt
that this problem transcends languages.

30179a557f In FreeBSD 5, we don't set schg on kernels, so that's not likely

549855b75d A variety of kernel configuration updates for 5.0, largely in the 
form of <note></note> entries.  We now keep kernels in different
places.  We changed a bunch of options.  We deprecated support
for the i386 processor in GENERIC.  We now have PSEUDOFS.  We
dropped MFS for mdmfs.  We have ACLs in GENERIC.  We have ACLs
at all.  We have COMPAT_FREEBSD4.  Many things that should not have
been options have now been forgotten. No, wait.  They were enabled
by default.

<note>We really need two separate documents here: kernel configuration
for FreeBSD 4.x, and kernel configuration for FreeBSD 5.x.  This
quantity of notes is a lot less readable than I'd like.  If someone
wants to pick up this task before RC2, that would be great.</note>
