Subject:   sysctls for hardware monitoring?

In looking over the various options for monitoring the health of the
hardware, I notice that it's pretty much a mess. All the software in
question runs privileged and grovels through memory in some way.

Linux uses a device driver that's a directory full of files holding
sensor information. That doesn't seem to be the right direction for
FBSD, though. An option that enabled a set of sysctls to collect the
information seemed to be more approrpiate.

Comments? Suggestions? Brickbats?
