Any symbols added to HEAD (8.x) go in FBSD_1.1.  Symbols
in HEAD always go to the latest version which is FBSD_1.1.

Any symbols that are MFC'd, have to go to the _same_ version
as they went to in HEAD (FBSD_1.1).

What you must not do is MFC symbols to a different version
in 7.x (or, more generally, any previous release/branch)
than the version from which they came.  If newfoo is in
FBSD_1.1 in HEAD, then it has to be in FBSD_1.1 in 7.x.

If you want to get picky and keep all 7.x versions in
FBSD_1.0.x, then you first have to add FBSD_1.0.x in
HEAD and add the symbols there.  But that has not been
the convention to date.

Remember that all symbols and versions in 7.x _must_ be
present in HEAD before they are MFC'd.  HEAD is always
a superset of 7.x.

If you have added something to 7.x that doesn't exist
in the same version as HEAD (in this case, FBSD_1.1),
then please back it out and correct it.
