net-snmp suffers from this as well because it pokes around some kernel structures and data types to gather statistics related to IPv6, routing, etc in order to fulfill MIB-II compliance. Part of the bits are present, but not all of them, and I would really like for the need to muck around in _KERNEL to go away... Similarly, we have several utilities in base that muck around in _KERNEL that really shouldn't IMHO.
