no:
1) remove all includes that reference linux/*
2) try to compile the program, see which structures the
compile fails on because they are not defined,
3) try to find those in the freebsd headers and include
those
4) repeat steps 2 & 3 until you have found all structures
needed.
5) convert still unfound structures to the appropriate
freebsd ones.
do not touch anything in /usr/include, you should
only be working on your program.
