I would appreciate some feedback (in the form of commits also works)
on two small issues (I've also opened PR's on these).

1. Due to vnode_if.h not getting installed, you need to have kernel
   source (namely vnode_if.src and vnode_if.pl) to build any file
   system to be loaded as a kernel module.  This is unfortunate and
   should be fairly easy to solve by installing vnode_if.h.  See PR
   kern/17613.

2. It's hard to build some KLD that use macros from <sys/*.h> without
   optimization in some cases.  The particular case that I triggered
   was the definition of __cursig in <sys/signalvar.h> as `extern
   __inline' instead of `static __inline'.  I don't think there's any
   particular good reason to not have everything build without -O and
   the fix (included in the PR) for this problem is trivial.  See PR
   kern/17614.
