Pawel,

I fixed this as part of your intial contribution for '6502263 ZFS needs 
some more FreeBSD porting love'. When I was doing your changes I 
detected this issue as well and went ahead and fixed it. So although 
this wasn't technically in your provided patch, it was your initial 
changes that led me to detect the problem and fix it. I didn't file 
another bug as I thought your bug encompassed the spirit of this work.

Sorry if that wasn't clearer. Thanks again for contributing!
