no longer contains kernel specific data structures, but rather
only scalar values and structures that are already part of the
kernel/user interface, specifically rusage and rtprio. It no
longer contains proc, session, pcred, ucred, procsig, vmspace,
pstats, mtx, sigiolst, klist, callout, pasleep, or mdproc. If
any of these changed in size, ps, w, fstat, gcore, systat, and
top would all stop working. The new structure has over 200 bytes
of unassigned space for future values to be added, yet is nearly
100 bytes smaller per entry than the structure that it replaced.
VM structure (eg: credentials etc) and it's highly unlikely we'll ever
get to see the "tainted" BSD<=4.3 VM code in public use. Although it
indicated the way some things used to be done, it obfuscates things too
much.

avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
the full argument vector.
I've bumped into a few things that expected this switch to be present,
the most recent was the snmp package in ports. I'm not 100% sure of the
origins of this, but Linux has it, so does the "BSD-compatable" version
of ps on our SVR4 systems (so I assume SunOS has it too).
