Gentoo bugs refer to a different kernel altogether, so they are not
really very useful, unless they also affect the BSD kernel in a
reproducible manner.

If you can reproduce some of these bugs with _FreeBSD_, however, please
report them and include /var/log/messages output, any dmesg output that
could help track the bugs, and/or even kernel backtraces.
