In this case I think what you are trying to say is that like GDB, LLDB needs to have some form of kernel awareness. And looking at the code, it's 50% lldb APIs and 50% FreeBSD specifics so it's fine but you can understand why I want people to be careful about this.

And there are some in the community who for professional reasons will not go near GPL code, so this is going to cut down your potential reviewers, if it is the case that the file is important context.
