    linuxkpi: Alias `sd` field of `struct kobject`
    
    On Linux, a `struct kernfs_node *` pointer, representing a directory in
    sysfs, is kept in the `sd` struct field.
    
    We don't have that on FreeBSD because we use sysctls instead. Let's
    alias the sysctl OID pointer to `sd` using an union.
    
    This pointer is checked by the DRM drivers using:
        if (var->kobj.sd) {
            ...
        }
    
    The amdgpu DRM driver started to use these checks in Linux 6.13.
