this patches the file files/patch-hald_freebsd_probing_probe-video4linux.c

When you build a custom kernel, generally you do not put optios STACK in the
kernel, so the sysctl kern.proc.pid is not available
Hal needs that sysctl in order to detect video interfaces. but it is only a
test, so can work without that test.


A patch to fix this issue (in the attach) fixes the file
/usr/ports/sysutils/hal/files

Than cheese and others that needs hal detection will have /dev/videoX
