I was thinking of suggesting a macro to replace the verbose test if
curproc->td_proc->p_sysent->sv_flags, but I couldn't think of
something off the top of my head.

-                      if (curthread->td_proc->p_sysent ==
&ia32_freebsd_sysvec) {
+                       if (curthread->td_proc->p_sysent->sv_flags & SV_ILP32) {

if (SV_FLAGS(curthread) & SV_ILP32) ... or the like.  I'm not set on
this, it just seemed like it might be worth mentioning.

Also, change curthread->td_proc with curproc, for what its worth.
