You seem to be under the (common) misconception that FreeBSD and Darwin share kernel code. For the most part, they do not. Implementing MSI-X support in Darwin would be totally different than in FreeBSD, for example.
No, I'm not. I'm well aware that, although FreeBSD and XNU share some BSD heritage (as Mach 2 was comingled with a BSD Unix kernel), they have diverged significantly internally.
to appear in 10.6 (we know “64-bit kernel” definitely will, for a start)?
If I knew (which I do, since I'm an ADC member, and have been running the 10.6 seeds) I could not tell you due to NDA.
…which is why I said “likely”. many rumours are circulating, and Apple has released quite a lot of information publicly now.
No need for rumors. From <http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/technology/sixtyfour-bit.html>: "Snow Leopard Server uses 64-bit kernel technology to support breakthrough amounts of RAM — up to a theoretical 16TB. With more RAM, server applications can utilize more physical memory and in turn run faster and more efficiently. In addition, the 64-bit kernel dramatically increases the total number of simultaneous system processes, threads, and network connections that the server can utilize." -- Clark S.
