Thanks you for this port. In builds and runs fine. Additionally to being
root, it needs the sysctl kern.allowkmem=1 set.

Maybe you want to mention this more explicitly in DESCR or even patch
the manpage.

Tested via amdgpu on:
2:0:0: ATI Polaris 12
0x0000: Vendor ID: 1002, Product ID: 699f

I can't commit, but OK from me.

Thanks and best regards,
Stefan
