Hi John,
Would you mind backing out this commit from 7-stable.
This change mades it so one cannot seriously boot a machine multiuser
with an older kernel as /usr/sbin/sshd dies due to bad system call.  I
think the MFC of this part of the closefrom(2) addtion edge up against
POLA for a mature -stable branch.

Even in -CURRENT it's good form to add a new system call and then
immedately use it... without some time laps to allow folks to boot
a week old kernel.

Thanks,
