remove_d_thread_t.patch

The d_thread_t typedef is a compat shim to support FreeBSD 4.x.  I'm planning to remove this shim from 11.

Maintainer, please submit this upstream.  While you are at it, please also let Nvidia know to remove MAP_NORESERVE flag from mmap() calls in their next library builds.  The flag has never worked and is no longer present in 11 (removing it now will be safe and will save them from a random compile failure on 11).

Sorry for the delay, committed as ports 378119.

John, I'm afraid we have a problem with the upstream communication since Chris Zander, our nVidia liaison, had left the company last year.  I've asked him what's the best and fastest way FreeBSD could use to communicate our patches and wishes now, but got no answer thus far. :(
