There doesn't seem to be a good reason for using the kvm interface
instead of procfs.  Unfortunately, to commit to that, procfs would
have to become mandatory, since a shared interface would be hard.

Would not being able to run ps on a kernel dump be bad?  Or would it
be worth supporting both interfaces?

Either way, you'd need a libkvm that matched the kernel, but it would
save every day use from all of these recompiles (w and so on, too).
