Subject:   would like to make cp_time a sysctl

One must use libkvm for reading cpu utilization, I'm going to make
them available through sysctl.

I would like to have a sysctl that returns a string of the cpu states:
kern.cpustates.names: user nice sys intr idle
kern.cpustates.values: values 

I'm open for alternative suggestions on how to do this.

I've been told that netbsd has thier own way of doing it, I don't
like it because they use SYSCTL_STRUCT which isn't very useful unless
you can include the C headers to parse it.

thanks,
