Compile tested only. Not calling exterrctl should be equivalent to it returning ENOSYS when the kernel doesn't support it.

I've now verified that a system with these patches applied, but the __FreeBSD_version bump rolled back boots fine and doesn't call exterrctl(). With the version bumped the calls are made.
