A few comments: * I tried to add a dependency on procfs to linprocfs, but the module dependency systems seems flaky; two out of three times I get "KLD linprocfs.ko: depends on procfs - not available" even though procfs is loaded (and /proc is mounted). Further, reference counting seems to be broken; the kernel will not let me unload a module it loaded as a result of a dependency (e.g. unload procfs; load linprocfs, which forces procfs to be loaded; unload linprocfs; unloading procfs fails with "attempt to unload file that was loaded by the kernel") * I'd love to see a command (e.g. kldinfo) that tells me the version number of a particular module, as well as what other modules it depends on. * linprocfs has disgusting amounts of code copied verbatim from procfs. I'll see what I can do to eliminate at least some of that.
