Due to our changing of certain kernel structures, GENERIC likely won't
build anymore. FreeBSD's kernel source code contains compile-time
assertions that detect when offsets of values within certain key
structures are different than expected (example commit
f9f820f2e418f9b68f9d94631171135bfb79989f in hardened/current/master).

I'm unsure why PTI causes issues in these cases. I would love to
attempt to make an effort to debug it myself, but I would need some
way to replicate the issue on my end.

Thanks,
