Besides the hw.* entries that are expected by the 3ware tool, it wants
kern.osreldate which is essentially the version like kern.osrevision.
In fact, FreeBSD seems to have abandoned osrevision:
	kern.osrelease: 5.3-BETA5
	kern.osrevision: 199506
	kern.osreldate: 503000

It seems to silly to create a separate tree for emulation, rather just
add this one entry and borrow the regular tree.

However, sysctl_root is static within kern_sysctl.  Is there any problem
with making it global?
