In the olden days, you used to have to read kernel data structures through
/dev/mem (or friends(?)). This usually means that you have to be
privileged or at least loved by a privileged person on the system.
Lately, a lot (more) of this data is accessible through sysctl, although I
don't know exactly what. Just more.
