- make WARNS=6 clean for archs w/o strict alignment requirments
- add const, ANSIfy, remove unused vars, cast types for comparison
- thanks to differing definitions of VM_MIN_ADDRESS across our archs, we
need to trick the compiler to not complain about signedness. We could
either fix VM_MIN_ADDRESS to always be a simple integer or make the
check conditional on $ARCH.

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.

tried to read something that was in the very last pdpe, pde or pte slot,
it would bogusly fail.
This is broken in RELENG_6 too.
returned an lseek offset in a "u_long *" value, which can't express >4GB

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.

seems to work well enough for all the users in the tree that I found.
dead kernel debugging. The previous code was a "do nothing".
The most obvious side effect of this is that you can now do things like
this and reasonably expect them to work:
dmesg -M /var/crash/vmcore.3 -N /var/crash/kernel.3
ps -axl -M /var/crash/vmcore.3 -N /var/crash/kernel.3
A good deal of this was lifted from the gdb code to do this, as well as
from NetBSD's libkvm (which has completely different VM macros)
Given the right circumstances, a call to kvm_open can result in a core
dump.
The diff belows fixes this (note that this change is already in the
NetBSD code). Could somebody apply this?
