Extract the struct cdev pointer and the tty device from inside rather than
incorrectly casting the 'struct cdev *' pointer to a 'dev_t' int. Not
that this was particularly important since it was only used for reading
vmcore files.
- Add a comment noting that the ru_[us]times values being read aren't
actually valid and need to be computed from the raw values.

The KSE structure has become the same as the "per thread scheduler
private data" structure. In order to not make the diffs too great
one is #defined as the other at this time.
The KSE (or td_sched) structure is now allocated per thread and has no
allocation code of its own.
Concurrency for a KSEGRP is now kept track of via a simple pair of counters
rather than using KSE structures as tokens.
Since the KSE structure is different in each scheduler, kern_switch.c
is now included at the end of each scheduler. Nothing outside the
scheduler knows the contents of the KSE (aka td_sched) structure.
The fields in the ksegrp structure that are to do with the scheduler's
queueing mechanisms are now moved to the kg_sched structure.
(per ksegrp scheduler private data structure). In other words how the
scheduler queues and keeps track of threads is no-one's business except
the scheduler's. This should allow people to write experimental
schedulers with completely different internal structuring.
A scheduler call sched_set_concurrency(kg, N) has been added that
notifies teh scheduler that no more than N threads from that ksegrp
should be allowed to be on concurrently scheduled. This is also
used to enforce 'fainess' at this time so that a ksegrp with
10000 threads can not swamp a the run queue and force out a process
with 1 thread, since the current code will not set the concurrency above
NCPU, and both schedulers will not allow more than that many
onto the system run queue at a time. Each scheduler should eventualy develop
their own methods to do this now that they are effectively separated.
Rejig libthr's kernel interface to follow the same code paths as
linkse for scope system threads. This has slightly hurt libthr's performance
but I will work to recover as much of it as I can.
Thread exit code has been cleaned up greatly.
exit and exec code now transitions a process back to
'standard non-threaded mode' before taking the next step.

the calculation of ki_childtime. That will correct the value returned
when ki_childtime.tv_usec > 1,000,000.

It also implements the KERN_PROC_RGID and KERN_PROC_SESSION options

The big lines are:
NODEV -> NULL
NOUDEV -> NODEV
udev_t -> dev_t
udev2dev() -> findcdev()
Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.

for compatability and to export one could. For now, just tell KVM to hand
an empty signal set off to the userland.

Garbage-collected kvm_readswap(). This was once used by kvm_uread(), but
kvm_uread() now just reads /proc/<pid>/mem and procfs hopefully handles
swapped out pages.
next step is to allow > 1 to be allocated per process. This would give
multi-processor threads. (when the rest of the infrastructure is
in place)
While doing this I noticed libkvm and sys/kern/kern_proc.c:fill_kinfo_proc
are diverging more than they should.. corrective action needed soon.

expect slight instability in signals..
processes match the given criteria. Since revision 1.60 of malloc.c,
malloc() and friends return an invalid pointer when given a size of 0.
kvm_getprocs() uses sysctl() with a NULL oldp argument to get an
initial size, but does not check whether it's 0 before passing it to
realloc() (via _kvm_realloc()). Before the aforementioned malloc()
change, this resulted in a minimal allocation made and a valid poitner
returned, but now results in an invalid, but non-NULL, pointer being
returned. When this is passed to sysctl(), the latter returns EFAULT
(as it should).
I'll know as soon as I re-import it and compile it.. :-)
There is no longer a 'pri' strict in the proc struct.
the fields are scattered between the ksegrp and thread in question.
