I've a similar but more complete patch. It handles both get and set cases,
and also takes into account jailed environment. It should have identical
semantics to -current (except for the see_other_uids flag), at least at
the time when I created the patch. You may inspect the patch at
	http://people.freebsd.org/~luoqi/p1003_1b.diff

I didn't know there're so many people running linux apps under emulation.
I've a couple of other linux related patches for -stable, among them
backport of linux ptrace from -current, anyone interested?
