In the past, the BSD patches were not submitted back because 99.9%
are BSD specific, and Sun is not interested in being the maintainer of
the BSD changes.

For the other .1% of the patches, they are almost always gleaned from
Linux sources or also apply there, so they are usually also fixed in
later releases from Sun.
