Currently, kernel threads + flock does not work.  The lock is not
necessarily released with the multi-threaded application shuts down.

I have a patch which I have been running for a month now with no problems; 
who might I send it to to get it reviewed/committed?

It would greatly simplify the installation of our multi-threaded apps
on FreeBSD if a kernel patch was not required.  Not to mention a
general increase in confidence to have them work with FreeBSD "out-of-the-box".
