These helper functions can be used to read in or write a buffer from or to an arbitrary process' address space. Without them, this can only be done using proc_rwmem(), which requires the caller to fill out a uio. This is onerous and results in code duplication; the new functions provide a simpler interface which is sufficient for most existing callers of proc_rwmem(). This change also adds a manual page for proc_rwmem() and the new functions. Reviewed by: jhb, kib Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4245
