As far as I know, and my research goes, this change should only be applied to CURRENT, but NOT to be MFC'ed. This is because, if you: o look into the dumpon source code, you will see that this change, coined as "New dumping infrastructure" was implemented in revision 1.14, BRANCH: MAIN by the great phk. o The RELENG_4, and RELENG_4_5, AND RELENG_4_6 are still using the sysctl(3) infrastructure; because as far as my knowledge goes, the new DUMPING ioctl's are only available in -current thus made use by -current only. I hope this helps to clear my point.
