As others have pointed out, it may have big hacker value, but no one
would use it for anything serious. AFAIK there's no such thing for
FreeBSD, but one thing I remember, is that once the Linux kernel incorporated
the zero copy netowrking code, userland HTTP servicing like Tux saw it's
performance increase on par with khttpd, so it seems that's not worth to
run a http server in kernel space.
Cheers,
