As this is not a sole change (and it is a part of a bigger plan) I
intended to do a __FreeBSD_version bump just once all the changes are
in place.
I came to this after past experience to do 1:1 modify for
__FreeBSD_version and KPI, which was adding too much overhead for what
it was needed.
If we still think a 1:1 __FreeBSD_version bumping is the right thing
to do, I can establish again this in new VFS commit though.

Thanks,
Attilio
