Why is this in FreeBSD (a specific NETFLIX constant?)

head/sys/dev/ahci/ahci.c

Could this be done better (even if it breaks KBI), and if so, is there a plan to do this?

head/sys/cam/ata/ata_da.c

That's a regression. It used to be 5 seconds :)

1300

Because it's long enough and doesn't warrant its own #define.

head/sys/cam/cam_ccb.h
584

Because ABI breakage.

head/sys/conf/options
332

Because it is the Netflix scheduler, as opposed to the default scheduler. That's its name, not a Netflix, Inc specific define.

Can't be done w/o breaking the KBI between CAM and userland. Ken Merry, Scott Long and I have been working on a more general solution because the Auxiliary register is used in a lot of the SMR commands, and it needs to have values other than 1 or 0. Since I did most of this work in 10.x, I didn't want to break the KBI. So we have this ugly kludge until the more general work is completed.
