>Description:
On a freshly booted system there is no problems to see files under /kern;
after quite some time/use (cvs up src + kerne build), they do not show
up anymore but remain available.

Here is the corresponding trace:

 14255      1 ls       CALL  close(4)

This is mostly from a GENERIC+DIAGNOSTIC kernel, with a few other devices.

Subject: PR/38778 CVS commit: src/sys/miscfs/kernfs
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2020 04:19:25 +0000

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	riastradh
 Date:		Tue Feb  4 04:19:24 UTC 2020

 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/miscfs/kernfs: kernfs.h kernfs_vfsops.c kernfs_vnops.c

 Log Message:
 Use specfs vnops for specnodes in kernfs.

 While here, don't filter out rootdev and rrootdev merely because
 they're not cached.

 Fixes the elusive /kern/rootdev and /kern/rrootdev nodes, which only
 appeared sometimes when they felt like it, and fixes operations on
 /kern/rootdev and /kern/rrootdev always returning EOPNOTSUPP.

 We didn't seem to have a single PR for these issues but the following
 PRs are all relevant:
