The variable nextpid in fork1 (/sys/kern/kern_fork.c) is a local
variable. Gcc rename internally nextpid to nextpid.178 ...  So it is
not possible to read the value of nextpid with kvm(3) or
sysctl(3). Can we make nextpid to a global variable or is there any
other way to read nextpid?

It would be nice if top(1) can show the last pid.
