Allow to specify a character special device as a core file.

2003-10-29T14:02:16+00:00

This enable us to use /dev/fwmem* as a core file.
e.g.
	ps -M /dev/fwmem0.0 -N kernel.debug
	dmesg -M /dev/fwmem0.0 -N kernel.debug
	gdb -k -c /dev/fwmem0.0 kernel.debug
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.)

Remove unnecssary includes.

These were probably not cleaned up back in whatever murky past these
files were split into separate files.

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.

Assume STDC, remove non-STDC code.

Remove 'register' keyword.

Finish cleanup in kvm.c revisions 1.10 and 1.11 -- mark sf (swapfile)

argument to kvm_open() and kvm_openfiles() as unused.

BSD didn't read swap since kvm.c CSRG revision 5.21 (u-area is pageable
under new VM.  no need to read from swap.)

The old !NEWVM code was removed in CSRG revision 5.23 (~ten years ago).

Compensate for "Compensate for header dethreading" by backing it out.
