Not out of privacy issues, simply because I responded german. Should have thought about a general interest on this topic and replied here. My fault. The link I gave him was http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/freebsd/2002-08/0116.html The patch was written against a 5.x from Aug 2002, so if it cleanly applies to nowadays freeBSD I do not know. But from a first glance I think it should, though I am not that familiar with kernel code.
