Seems generally reasonable. Fortunately we have't had RESERVED syscall numbers for long so this isn't violating our guarantee too badly.

sys/sys/umtx.h

Does it make sense to put these under #ifdef _KERNEL to prevent new code form using them without some effort?

We do not do that for UMTX_OP_SEM_WAIT/WAKE.

I considered keeping RESERVED symbols in the header, and redefine them to LOCK/UNLOCK in kern_umtx.c, as well as defining struct umtx in kern_umtx.c too. But then I decided that this obfuscation is not worth it: the facilitiy is under COMPAT_FREEBSD10 anyway, so anybody trying to use it (why? also it is not documented in umtx_op(2)) needs to make an argument to himself.

Discussed briefly on IRC with @kib, the kernel side of this existed in FreeBSD 10 but it was not used by default userland for quite some time, perhaps after FreeBSD 6. Should this be COMPAT_FREEBSD6 (or whatever the actual version was) in that case?

We provide COMPATX for syscalls removed in HEAD-X, not when the syscall use disappeared from the base. So I believe that COMPAT10 is the proper separation line.

sys/kern/kern_umtx.c
911

My thinking is that we could have moved it under COMPAT_FREEBSD6 in FreeBSD 7 (assuming it was 6). I think the umtx syscalls is a bit of an unusual case wrt historical practice.

sys/kern/kern_umtx.c
911

Yes, but syscall was kept until 10. I agree that right action in FreeBSD 7 times was not the removal but bracing it with COMPAT6, of course.

It is both umtx op that was removed, and dedicated syscalls.
