I do not say that the kernel is FreeBSD, just that it's FreeBSD based. They took some code that they didn't wanted to write themselves. syscalls means nothing, it's "easy" to replace syscalls when you control the userland.

As roblabla said, multiple people are in the process of reverse engineering the Switch and they have all confirmed that the OS itself is NOT FreeBSD based. The network stack may be, but the kernel itself is an iteration on the 3DS' kernel.

Yes because if they took the scheduler (for example) it will be really easy to see ...</sarcasm>
