Matt,

How far are you into adding the ioctl? If you are close to done, I
would appreciate it if you could let me use the code. 

I was thinking of adding an ioctl for local use myself. Or a sysctl 
provided I could figure out how the sysctl interface works. (Any body
have notes on the 4.4BSD/FreeBSD sysctl interface?) I guess sysctl would
be nicer....

Thanks,
--rohit.
