(DPCPU):
A new API, kvm_dpcpu_setcpu(3), selects the active CPU for the purposes
of DPCPU. Calls to kvm_nlist(3) will automatically translate DPCPU
symbols and return a pointer to the current CPU's version of the data.
Consumers needing to read the same symbol on several CPUs will invoke a
series of setcpu/nlist calls, one per CPU of interest.
This addition makes it possible for tools like netstat(1) to query the
values of DPCPU variables during crashdump analysis, and is based on
similar code handling virtualized global variables.

without VIMAGE virtualization in the kernel.
If we cannot resolve a symbol try to see if we can find it with
prefix of the virtualized subsystem, currently only "vnet_entry"
by identifying either the vnet of the current process for a
live system or the vnet of proc0 (or of dumptid if compiled
in a non-default way).
The way this is done currently allows us to only touch libkvm
but no single application. Once we are going to virtualize more
subsystems we will have to review this decision for better scaling.

Support ELF crashdumps on i386 and amd64.
Support PAE crashdumps on i386. This is done by auto-detecting the
presence of the IdlePDPT which means that PAE is active.
I used Marcel's _kvm_pa2off strategy and ELF header reader for ELF support
on amd64. Paul Saab ported the amd64 changes to i386 and we implemented
the PAE support from there.
Note that gdb6 in the src tree uses whatever libkvm supports. If you want
to debug an old crash dump, you might want to keep an old libkvm.so handy
and use LD_PRELOAD or the like. This does not detect the old raw dump
format.

This enable us to use /dev/fwmem* as a core file.
e.g.
ps -M /dev/fwmem0.0 -N kernel.debug
dmesg -M /dev/fwmem0.0 -N kernel.debug
gdb -k -c /dev/fwmem0.0 kernel.debug
You need to set target EUI64 in hw.firewire.fwmem.eui64_hi/lo before
opening the device. On the target arch, (PCI) bus address must be
equivalent to physical address.
(We cannot use this for sparc64 because of IOMMU.)

BSD didn't read swap since kvm.c CSRG revision 5.21 (u-area is pageable
under new VM. no need to read from swap.)
The old !NEWVM code was removed in CSRG revision 5.23 (~ten years ago).
and is module aware. Yes, this means that kvm_nlist(3) will find symbols
in loaded modules. The emulation of the nlist struct is pretty crude but
seems to work well enough for all the users in the tree that I found.

This cleanup was motivated by recent breakage of the default swap file
(/dev/drum) when swapon() has not been called.
know what they're doing if they do that. This will allow ps to use
the kvm_proc.c bits without having access to /dev/mem.
Fix kvm_proc.c to not need /dev/mem for access to argv/envp
When malloc fails. don't try to memset NULL pointer, it cause core dump
Replace malloc+memset with calloc, theoretically it can do some

_PATH_UNIX is currently defined as the literal string "don't use this".
I am of two minds about this myself, but wanted to get something into the
