And having obtained the answers, may I suggest a site to post them at:
kerneltrap.org.

This, together with lwn.net, is one of the most informative sites
about fresh developments in the linux kernel; but kerneltrap.org also
covers the BSDs.  So no need to reinvent the wheel; if the FreeBSD
contributions to kerneltrap can be increased just a bit, it would be a
very useful archive (in fact it already is).
