 What commit?  I haven't committed anything.

 If anything in userland links against a kernel header, then that
 header needs to be installed in /usr/include, end of story.
 -I/usr/src/sys is never acceptable in userland code.

 Of course one needs to upgrade all ports in the middle of the upgrade
 cycle, if one wishes to have a working system at the end of it --
 particularly in the case of something that uses CAMIOCOMMAND, which
 does not have any backwards-compatibility mechanism (hmmm, another bug
 here).
