There doesn't seem to be a good reason for using the kvm interface instead of procfs. Unfortunately, to commit to that, procfs would have to become mandatory, since a shared interface would be hard. Would not being able to run ps on a kernel dump be bad? Or would it be worth supporting both interfaces? Either way, you'd need a libkvm that matched the kernel, but it would save every day use from all of these recompiles (w and so on, too).
