Poeple often pop up right before a release is due to be rolled, and ask
for some patch to "make it into the release" - often it doesn't, and they
go away until the next release is announced. This isn't how the FreeBSD
development model works, and you're targetting the wrong group at the
wrong time. You need to get your patch applied to *FreeBSD-CURRENT*
preferably a month or more before the release, and then get it merged back
to -stable. If you do that now then there's a good chance your patches
will make it back in time for 4.2
