Release-Acked-by: Ian Jackson <iwj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Sorry for my earlier confusion.  I had lost the context between the
two patches.  I will explain my reasoning for the R-A:

For the first two hunks (freebsd.c): these are consequential cleanup
from patch 1/2 of this series.  Splitting this up made this easier to
review and we don't want to leave the rather unfortunate constructs
which arise from some hunks of 1/1.  IOW, the combination of 1/1 plus
the first two hunks here is definitely release-worthy and the split
has helped review.

The final hunk is a straightforward bugfix.

This combination of two completely different kinds of thing is a bit
confusing but now that I have explained it to myself I'm satisfied.

Ian.
