Ah, sorry. My emacs automatically reindents every file to my settings,
I'll disable that.

I'd prefer to keep the headers unchaged. They're from FreeBSD and if
we don't make changes we can easily update to newer versions in the
future. POSIX types will help when stealing other parts of FreeBSD if
we choose to do so in the future, their ddb for example is far better
than ours.

Same as above.

Okies

I'll send an updated patch tomorrow.
