Rally sad news. :( Sorry, I’ve missed the announcement 
(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20141013 
<http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html#20141013>) 

It’s a wrong mailing list, but still, which is a recommended way to develop 
user kernel extensions and new drivers then?

LKM didn’t get much love in past years, but still it was a very powerful tool 
for small and useful things, which will never make into base code.
