Note: code can be seen on https://github.com/tlaronde/src . I have implemented "patterns" in sys/kern/subr_userconf.c, in order to allow to manipulate (change, disable, enable, find, list) a device matching a possibly anchored substring. But this doesn't solve the problem for dmskms (to be able to disable all with a single well knows instruction) since the names don't match a regular pattern. I propose to add a DV_DRMKMS class to sys/device.h:enum_devclass; to augment cfdata with a devclass member and modify config(1) accordingly so that in sys/kern/subr_userconf.c can be introduced a (supplementary for now; not replacing) new syntax: exp: number | string | magic | pattern string: '"' alpha alphanum* '"' /* case insensitive */ magic: alpha alphanum /* case insensitive */ pattern: '/' ['^'] alphanum ['$'] '/' /* case insensitive */ {change, disable, enable, find, list} name = exp {change, disable, enable, find, list} class = magic so that: disable class = drmkms does the trick. There is already in usr.bin/config/TODO a paragraph about classes, so it seems this proposal leans towards what was expected.
