Hmm.. these are kernel patches..

Are you claiming that these patches are correct for FreeBSD in
general, or is this just a hack for this one application (JDK)?

If they are applicable in general you should file a PR so they
get integrated into FreeBSD.

If the linux.ko KLD really lets you unload itself even though
there are processes using it, I'd file that as a separate PR.
It should keep a reference count or something.

Thanks,
