Has anyone ported Legato's "unsupported" NFS benchmark nhfsstone (the
'h' is silent) to FreeBSD 2.1R?

It's located at:

	ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/Unsupported/nhfsstone

I got through some easy things (makefile, include files, kernel name,
etc.) and it compiles, but it's dying in some code that mucks through
/dev/kmem for NFS statistics.
