The changes are simple (just some printf). I am just beginning this
Nobody can write a syscall with more than 8 arguments and this is conceptually
wrong. In my opinion this is a mistake, no assumptions might be done on

Hello list,
Could somebody tell me why I can't list the source code of this kld?
I built the module with COPTS=-g, it is loaded in the kernel and I run kgdb in
/usr/obj/./MYKERNEL. Everything seems to go well, except kgdb still
doesn't like it. However if I run kldsyms, it only loads
