The easiest (and hackiest) approach would be to kldsym(2) to locate the symbol in KVM and then mmap(2) the relevant part of /dev/kmem. The biggest downside is that the userland process needs to be group kmem. The other approach would be for your kernel driver to grow a character device node and directly support mmap. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
