I've had something like this for a few weeks, but yours is much better,
I think.  

My only comment is that I don't see the need for the 'nbr' fields, as we
should always use OID_AUTO.

Otherwise, this will greatly simplify my life. (:

Now if you can create a method to only walk through the direct children,
and not the children's children too, I can show my irq/drq/iomem/ioport
exportation via sysctl and the userland 'sysinfo' without shuddering at
the ugly code.
