I did this to proceed and the changes were relatively minor.

Another challenge is that some x86_64 machine header files include
<x86/ABC.h> to share something with x86. Looks like a place where the
include path  logic somewhere in the waf needs adjusting. No idea
where.

Assuming the include path for x86_64/amd64 is fixed and my sysctl.h patch
is applied, that only leaves three compile errors which appear to be
from the use of x86_64 and x86 machine directories.  For now, I hand
copied these files into place:

reebsd/sys/x86_64/include/machine/in_cksum.h
freebsd/sys/x86_64/include/machine/md_var.h
freebsd/sys/x86_64/include/machine/intr_machdep.h
freebsd/sys/x86_64/include/machine/specialreg.h

Pretty close with some help. Please. :)

Thanks.
