(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.

Similar to libexec/, do the same with lib/. Make WARNS=6 the norm and
lower it when needed.
I'm setting WARNS?=0 for secure/. It seems secure/ includes the
Makefile.inc provided by lib/. I'm not going to touch that directory.
Most of the code there is contributed anyway.
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.

'kern.cp_time'. For a live kernel it uses the sysctl. For a crashdump,
it first checks to see if the kernel has a 'cp_time' global symbol. If
it does, it uses that. If that doesn't work, when it uses the recently
added kvm_getmaxcpu(3) and kvm_getpcpu(3) routines to walk all the CPUs
and sum up their counters.

far more convenient for libkvm to work with because of the page table
block at the beginning. As a result, the MD code is smaller.
libkvm will automatically detect old vs mini dumps on i386 and amd64.
libkvm will handle i386 PAE and non-PAE modes. There is a PAE flag in
the i386 minidump header to signal the width of the entries in the
page table block.
Other convenient values are also present, such as kernbase and the direct
map addresses on amd64.
binaries in /bin and /sbin installed in /lib. Only the versioned files
reside in /lib, the .so symlink continues to live /usr/lib so the
toolchain doesn't need to be modified.
