I prefer depending on things like ioctl values and the 32-bit sysctl flag when 
possible.  If we do have to directly check for the ABI, I'd much rather have 
a flags field in sysent rather than trying to compare against global symbols, 
as you can't compare against a global symbol unless it is present in the 
kernel.  Something like:

	if (td->td_proc->p_sysent->sy_flags & SY_32)

or some such.  I've wanted to have a COMPAT_FREEBSD32 that gets auto-enabled 
when you turn on COMPAT_IA32 on amd64 and ia64.  It would also potentially be 
enabled by a COMPAT_SPARC8 or some such on sparc64 if we ever had that.
