Booting head -r356187 on an old G4 PowerMac3,6 shows
the following Giant warnings:

# dmesg -a | grep Giant
WARNING: Device "kbd" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.
WARNING: Device "openfirm" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.
WARNING: Device "powermac_nvram" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.
WARNING: Device "agp" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.
WARNING: Device "consolectl" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD 13.0.

( This was booted with kern.vty=sc , mostly
because on some other hardware kern.vty=vt
historically did not handle the 2560x1440
screen [crashing during boot] but sc worked
fine. )
