Do we really want to clutter the namespace with all these very
FreeBSD-centric types?  I'm mostly concerned about this struct
cap_rights, but also many of the other types are rather... uncommon.
I checked their existence on OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux, and none of
them define those:

  addr_t
  accmode_t
  cap_rights/cap_rights_t
  c_caddr_t
  cpulevel_t
  cpusetid_t
  cpuwhich_t
  uintfptr_t
  vm_offset_t
  vm_size_t
  vm_ooffset_t
  vm_paddr_t
  vm_pindex_t

addr_t, vm_offset_t, and vm_size_t are defined in Cygwin, but still,
do we really want them available generically?  __BSD_VISIBLE is set
by default...


Thanks,
Corinna
