 It's not clear if the broken software is <sys/conf.h> or xosview.  A
 few applications in /usr/src include <sys/conf.h>.  At least fstat/fstat.c
 sort of needs to, since it wants convert kernel dev_t's to userland
 dev_t's.  Kernel dev_t's are now pointers, and <sys/conf.h> is the
 only place that declares the struct that they point to.  OTOH,
 top/machine.c includes <sys/conf.h> for no reason.
