The kvm.h change got pulled by accident when I rebased my branches.. It'll be in the final diff.

Readd kvm.h portion of the diff

I would not MFC this but only change it in HEAD.

I think it is useful to note how long it has been marked broken in the commit log. It was first marked broken in rS174989. Maybe note the oldest release that had a functional kvm_getfiles() as well.

Humm, I thought I had already done this, but I guess I didn't.

I totally agree.

Fine with me. No need to mention the cross-arch stuff in the commit. I actually did that in such a way to avoid a version bump (hence kvm_read2 and kvm_nlist2).
