213 was registered, sc_unit is the ctl_unit of the kern_ctl_reg structure.

218 private data associated with this kernel control instance. This
219 opaque info will be provided to the user when the rest of the

222 order for the user to keep track of the states related to this

320 is set to this field to be retrieved by the caller.
