    This is something I've wanted for a very long time; if memory serves,
    OpenBSD does it with a /proc (processes) and /kern (general
    kernel-exported data), which always seemed like a logical division.

    And with a proper sysctl() interface, there's no reason you couldn't do
    /kern (or whatever) in userspace (think user-space NFS) if you just -had-
    to have that information in filesystem form.
