The thought occurred to me, but doing so would effectively fork
the community source (FreeBSD) into a FreeBSD version and an OpenSolaris
version, making it more work to merge changes from/to the original community.

I'm much more inclined to build a set of netgraph shims over STREAMS
to ease porting the FreeBSD stack, if that's where we end up.

IMHO, ideally, community source is integrated into OpenSolaris with
low/no-touch, so that changes can be (mostly) mechanically applied.
This is a golden rule for how I maintain ACPI CA.
