This is great Alan. When this gets closer to working, I would like to try it
out. I have a few ideas on how to simplify the authentication code in the
drivers. The linux driver relies on being able to track each individual open
call to the driver which isn't the way BSD drivers work so I try to look up
the auth information using the current PID. I recently realised an
alternative way of writing drivers in BSD which would make it possible to
track each open call which would make life easier for DRM.
