 <sys/kernel.h> does not include <sys/types.h>.  Plus, all of <sys/kernel.h>
 is not needed.  <sys/linker_set.h> is what defines DATA_SET().  This is
 probably the "right" set of includes:
 
 #include <sys/types.h>
 #include <sys/linker_set.h>
 #include <sys/sysctl.h>
 
 OTOH, <sysctl.h> should perhaps have a nested include of <sys/linker_set.h>
 in the #ifdef _KERNEL case in which case the manpage would not need changing.
