Subject: docs/39293: the dumpon man page incorrectly states that sysctl(3) is used

Hi.
As far as I know, and my research goes, this change should only be
applied to CURRENT, but NOT to be MFC'ed. This is because, if you:
o look into the dumpon source code, you will see that this
change, coined as "New dumping infrastructure" was implemented
in revision 1.14, BRANCH: MAIN by the great phk.
o The RELENG_4, and RELENG_4_5, AND RELENG_4_6 are still using
the sysctl(3) infrastructure; because as far as my knowledge
goes, the new DUMPING ioctl's are only available in -current
thus made use by -current only.
I hope this helps to clear my point.
Thanks.
