KSharedDataCache has been mostly rewritten for the 4.5 release, and
the new code relies on _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED being correctly
defined and implemented, which is not the case on FreeBSD.

Alberto Villa (xzhayon) was interested in working on that in a few
weeks time, but any help from the core team wrt implementing this part
of pthreads would be really appreciated.
