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.
This takes the conditionals out of the code that has been tested by
various people for a while.
ps and friends (libkvm) will need a recompile as some proc structure
changes are made.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
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.
allow more than two tty characters.
David Greenman pointed out that when a process that had been revoked from
it's controlling tty, the "-" sign was detached from any two-character
names.
This gives us more room to breath with tty names, especially with drivers
that support large numbers of ports.. eg: specialix and digiboard.
This does not actually change the current tty names, it just allows room
for reporting more characters if the drivers use them.
