Ah, this looks fairly neat.  However, I think you will need a few changes:

1) You will want to make kdump handle either the old or new size of struct
ktr_csw.  (The size of the record is in the header, so as long as you have
a 'struct ktr_csw_old' you can handle this fairly easily.)

2) cs->wmesg is never NULL.  Instead, it should probably just always print it 
out.

3) condvar's have a valid wmesg.
