+NOTE: The LKM mechanism is now deprecated in favor of the superior KLD
+mechanism as of FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE. These examples are provided purely
+for historical reasons and you should see the ../kld directory if you're
+interested in actually writing a dynamically-loadable extention to the
+kernel for any reasonably modern release of FreeBSD. - jkh
