 POWER_IOC_GET_TYPE_WITH_LOSSAGE is indeed for backwards compatibility
 with -current after April 18 2003, and before November 6 2009, and for
 releases in the netbsd-2 thru netbsd-5 series.  See the changeset including
 http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/sysmon/sysmon_power.c?rev=1.42&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN
 for some additional explanation.
 
 There should probably be some annotations made in the source that this
 is the case..
