Thanks, I just got that working. To help those going down a similar path
in the future, I would like to note quickly that the following must be
added to the cdevsw structure to ensure proper clean-up:
.d_flags = D_TRACKCLOSE
I just spent hours debugging panics until I realized only the last
close() was triggering a call to my .d_close method.
