OFD locks are part of POSIX now, so eventually new-enough BSD will
have them.  Is it worth trying to be more specific and testing for the
actual feature that we are depending on, rather than just limiting the
test to an early-adopter OS?  That said, I don't have any quick ideas
on how to do a more-specific feature test, so I don't mind this going
in as-is; we already know BSD gets less coverage for other reasons.
