kthread_add() takes the same parameters as the old kthread_create()
plus a pointer to a process structure, and adds a kernel thread
to that process.
kproc_kthread_add() takes the parameters for kthread_add,
plus a process name and a pointer to a pointer to a process instead of just
a pointer, and if the proc * is NULL, it creates the process to the
specifications required, before adding the thread to it.
All other old kthread_xxx() calls return, but act on (struct thread *)
instead of (struct proc *). One reason to change the name is so that
any old kernel modules that are lying around and expect kthread_create()
to make a process will not just accidentally link.
fix top to show kernel threads by their thread name in -SH mode
add a tdnam formatting option to ps to show thread names.
make all idle threads actual kthreads and put them into their own idled process.
make all interrupt threads kthreads and put them in an interd process
(mainly for aesthetic and accounting reasons)
rename proc 0 to be 'kernel' and it's swapper thread is now 'swapper'
man page fixes to follow.
- p_sflag was mostly protected by PROC_LOCK rather than the PROC_SLOCK or
previously the sched_lock. These bugs have existed for some time.
- Allow swapout to try each thread in a process individually and then
swapin the whole process if any of these fail. This allows us to move
most scheduler related swap flags into td_flags.
- Keep ki_sflag for backwards compat but change all in source tools to
use the new and more correct location of P_INMEM.

Apologies. I expect this means the dunce cap is mine for awhile.
If this doesn't work, I'll just drop back to 1.72 and hide under

in scripts.

column width from 4 bytes to 5. This will make the ps auxw output
uniform again when a process's rss exceeds 10 megs.
It should be noted that when 5 digits becomes to small, other
solutions should be explored such as displaying them in megabytes
or having ps automatically re-size column widths.

sort-by-CPU or sort-by-memory will only calculate values once-per-process,
instead of twice-per-comparison. Also take advantage of this to simplify
the pscomp() routine.
