Julian is of course correct... but Garrett you missed my point...

Forget netstat for a second. The question is simply, "I'm offering
to fix libkvm to understand KLD modules; is anybody interested?"

Whether libkvm should even exist in a perfect world (it shouldn't)
is an entirely different question. For now, we're stuck with it
until somebody changes *everything* to use sysctl instead.
