Wholeheartedly seconded.

I'd even go further and make generic implementations of kernel-only functions
available at some appropriate place (e.g. sys/arch/generic?).  Things like
fuword, suword etc. and copyinstr, copyoutstr come immediately to mind here...
Those can easily be implemented in terms of copyin/copyout during bringup of
a new port.

You obviously do have a system you sent this mail from, simply install send-pr
there...
