IMVHO, things like vmstat shouldn't use libkvm at all, especially because most of the info they report is already available via sysctl(3). If some structures and figures still need to be exported, perhaps better just do this, and not invest additional efforts in using libkvm... Also, as an additional bonus you'd get chmod g-s. The argument that "libkvm allows you to read this info from other images" is important, but it just shows that we need some relatively versatile tool for examining coredumps.
