Nowhere do I suggest to feed userland data into the kernel just so it can be reexported to userland. Instead, I think the "public" interface that systat, monitoring daemons, SNMP, etc. should be a userland interface that can have multiple backends. It can pull data from a sensor implemented in userland or a sensor implemented in the kernel. -- John Baldwin
