   Log Message:
   add /kern/ipsecsa and /kern/ipsecsp, which can be inspected by setkey(8).
   it allows easier access to ipsecsa/sp.  it works around problem where
   setkey -D does not work with large number of ipsec SAs due to socket buffer
   size.


so.... does this mean that /kern is now REQUIRED for a netbsd feature?


sounds like not such a great idea to me.  is there no way to do this
without resorting to forcing /kern to be mounted?  on my "secure"
systems i don't even include kernfs in my kernel (nor LKM.)  yet, this
is the machine i'm most likely to want to run ipsec on.
