Hey Mina, I'm going through my old PR's and I saw your suggestion.  (I am
`send-pr` years old).  I'm sorry it's been a while.

I know people seem to love Github, but it's got some dumb misfeatures.  For
example: I have a patch file here.

I can go into my github repo and fork the freebsd-src project, but you know
what I *can't* do in the github web UI?  Apply a patch.  (I also can't *view* a
patch file that someone submitted to me in an issue -- it just forces a
download to my own machine).

So, I need to, in addition to forking the repo, clone my fork of it onto my own
machine, apply the patch, push the patch up to my own github repo, create a
pull request, explaining once again why this is a reasonable idea.

*or*

I could manually reapply this patch by hand on the github UI.

Those both seem pretty clunky (and about equal amounts of wasted time), but I
guess I'll do one of them, in the interest of trying to give the project what
it wants.

Do I then request that this PR be closed out?
