Why  do you need to expedite the records through the ktrace at all ?
Wouldn't direct write(2)s to a file allow for better performance
due to not stressing kernel memory allocator and single writing thread ?
Also, the malloc coupling to the single-system interface would be
prevented.

I believe that other usermode tracers also behave in the similar way,
using writes and not private kernel interface.

Also, what /proc issues did you mentioned ? There is
sysctl kern.proc.vmmap which is much more convenient than /proc/pid/map
and does not require /proc mounted.
