fd_putvnode

[coypu%sdf.org@localhost]

Hi folks,

I've been requested to rewrite filedesc(9) (the manual page, not the
API) as it describes the old API.
I noticed we have fd_putvnode with these two matches in src/sys:

kern/kern_descrip.c
140:__strong_alias(fd_putvnode,fd_putfile)

sys/filedesc.h
205:void      fd_putvnode(unsigned);


What's the point to have a strong alias like this for something under
#ifdef _KERNEL?

Can I delete this in the next kernel ABI bump someone has planned?

Thanks.
