Hi all

	Does anyone know a way of reading (i only need readonly) 
	kernel memory given address? I need a cheap way of reading
	/mem/kmem that does not involve copying. I know there are
	issue with this question. At present I plan to use the kvm
	interface kvm_open() and kvm_read(). Thanks
Cheers,
Tony
