Awwwww it doesn't count that it's my code? ;)

Probably the worst is that it does have a negative impact on file opens
and that it is a real pain in the butt if you want to change things.  The
scheme is really meant for specific function machines like routers and
firewalls where you want to make sure things are not changed.

Not yet.  That is my bad.  I need to do the work to put the pseudo-device
into all the architectures which is scary for me because I can only test
3 architectures (i386, amd64 and sparc).  The actual kernel stuff is
machine independent, it's just the fingerprint loading pseudo-device that
is missing.
