Thanks Edward for the pointer.
In general when it comes to kernel-specific utilities, following what
upstream does is more useful. It means we get robust code for less
effort, and maybe upstream benefits too if we find bugs or improve things.
Would you consider porting amd(8)? With the current state of
freebsd-glue, porting of new code has become quite straightforward. If
you want to help with this, I suggest you have a look at how the
different packages are built in freebsd-utils source.
