Ok. I'm guessing this one probably falls into that category, given
what I've seen in the code.

Do you have any suggestions for FreeBSD or OpenBSD structure fields or
function arguments that would give the needed values (even if they are
inaccurate?) Some of the ones I've found seem to contradict themselves
(addr_lo == addr_hi ??) and make me think I'm not looking in the right
place.

If I can figure out what to look for, I think the FreeBSD code should
be accurate, it is copyrighted by the device manufacturer, and
authored by one of their employees. However there are no guarantees.

Thanks,
