I don't think FreeBSD has any fundamental limitation in this respect. 
This is just a problem that needs to be solved. If nothing else 
helps, I can write a custom version of kern_shutdown.c. I just 
thought somebody had already solved this and I didn't want to 
reinvent the wheel.

No problem at all. Re-explaining the problem forces me to think it 
over from another viewpoint. It might bring me or somebody else 
closer to the solution. Thank you for you thought effort, too!
