I notice that libkvm uses some values defined in <sys/paths.h>
but one of those paths doesn't exist in DragonFly:

#define __SYS_PATH_DRUM "/dev/drum"

<sigh> The joke's on me again. After reading thru the sourcecode for libkvm I see that the kvm_open() function completely *ignores* its third argument, and that's the argument that would have used /dev/drum. So it doesn't matter after all.

I'd still like to know what is going to replace libkvm when it goes
away, as Hiten predicts.  Would it be libkinfo?
