A first cut at teaching libkvm how to deal with dynamic per-CPU storage
(DPCPU):

A new API, kvm_dpcpu_setcpu(3), selects the active CPU for the purposes
of DPCPU. Calls to kvm_nlist(3) will automatically translate DPCPU
symbols and return a pointer to the current CPU's version of the data.
Consumers needing to read the same symbol on several CPUs will invoke a
series of setcpu/nlist calls, one per CPU of interest.

This addition makes it possible for tools like netstat(1) to query the
values of DPCPU variables during crashdump analysis, and is based on
similar code handling virtualized global variables.

Make libkvm work on live systems and crashdumps with and
without VIMAGE virtualization in the kernel.

If we cannot resolve a symbol try to see if we can find it with
prefix of the virtualized subsystem, currently only "vnet_entry"
by identifying either the vnet of the current process for a
live system or the vnet of proc0 (or of dumptid if compiled
in a non-default way).

The way this is done currently allows us to only touch libkvm
but no single application. Once we are going to virtualize more
subsystems we will have to review this decision for better scaling.

Support ELF crashdumps on i386 and amd64.

Support PAE crashdumps on i386. This is done by auto-detecting the
presence of the IdlePDPT which means that PAE is active.

I used Marcel's _kvm_pa2off strategy and ELF header reader for ELF support
on amd64. Paul Saab ported the amd64 changes to i386 and we implemented
the PAE support from there.

Note that gdb6 in the src tree uses whatever libkvm supports. If you want
to debug an old crash dump, you might want to keep an old libkvm.so handy
and use LD_PRELOAD or the like. This does not detect the old raw dump
format.

You need to set target EUI64 in hw.firewire.fwmem.eui64_hi/lo before
opening the device. On the target arch, (PCI) bus address must be
equivalent to physical address.
(We cannot use this for sparc64 because of IOMMU.)

In kvm_openfiles/kvm_open, mark the file descriptors as close-on-exec.
Applications can not do this themselves, as the descriptors are hidden
behind the opaque `kvm_t' type.
