That's a problem for ports people to deal with :-) They routinely
have stuff like this.
I think we should MFC the patch changes for 4.6, but wait for the diff
changes for 4.7 so that we have a patch that can grok the stuff for at
least three months before we have a diff in -stable that will generate
them.
