This interface has no in-tree consumers and has in fact been
non-functional for several releases.

Remove manpage note that the procfs special file 'mem' is grouped to
kmem. This hasn't been true since r81107.

The BSD kernel is single-processor? Wow. Please consider deleting this whole file. There are a few tiny differences between this and the man page, but I think we can assume the man page is more accurate in those places.

  • Remove procfs' README file

It is an out of date duplication of the manpage (quoth the README:
"since the bsd kernel is single-processor...").

This revision now requires review to proceed.Feb 27 2017, 3:18 PM

Thanks for the review. No obsolete files since it all compiles down to a single module.
