Log:
  Revert the mode_t -> int changes and add a warning in the BUGS section instead.
  
  While FreeBSD's implementation of these expect an int inside of libc, that's an
  implementation detail that we can hide from the user as it's the natural
  promotion of the current mode_t type and before it is used in the kernel, it's
  converted back to the narrower type that's the current definition of mode_t. As
  such, documenting int is at best confusing and at worst misleading. Instead add
  a note that these args are variadic and as such calling conventions may differ
  from non-variadic arguments.
