Sounds like the most reasonable to me too.  Btw, when solving type conflicts
between glibc and kfreebsd headers, I've so far choosed to just remove the
type defined by kfreebsd's.  However if we want to integrate the changes in
upstream we should support their setup somehow.  How about protecting them
like this:

#if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(_KERNEL)
  code here is used by:
    - kernel and userland on FreeBSD
    - kernel, but not userland, on GNU/kFreeBSD
#endif

Do you think this is acceptable for upstream?
