Some years ago, some nutcase argued for exporting kernelstate in
XML in an article on DaemonNews, and who knows, he might even have
gotten away with committing it to some unsuspecting BSD operating
system if nobody paid proper attention to his harebrained scheme.

What was that?  He did ?  Really ?!

Well, I can try that...

$ sysctl -nb kern.geom.confxml | head -10
<mesh>
  <class id="0xc53b7da0">
    <name>BDE</name>
    <geom id="0xc5396b00">
      <class ref="0xc53b7da0"/>
      <name>ad4s4a.bde</name>
      <rank>4</rank>
	<consumer id="0xc4f91580">
	  <geom ref="0xc5396b00"/>
	  <provider ref="0xc4f44900"/>

AUGH!!! :-)
