Back in early days, I fixed it so that all the BB-counter blocks
in the kernel were linked into a list which could be read out through
/dev/(k)mem, and I belive I added a program to do that, named
something like "kernbb".

Today I would probably have made a subtree under sysctl where the counters
could be pulled out per source-file...
