Conceptually, I really like this.  In practice, it's quite another
story, because it means either putting much/most of libkvm into the
kernel kernfs code or else making the kernel part of kernfs just a stub
that talks to a user-land daemon, somewhat akin to the portal fs.

Though it seems to me that it'd be harder to do for /proc, since the
"files" in /proc support a lot more than the "files" in /kern do.  And
/proc was the one under discussion.
