The changes I just committed to libkvm require that you update your
kernel, ps(1), and w(1) at roughly the same time.  If you run an old
ps(1) or w(1) on a new kernel, it's likely to crash the machine, as
addresses in /dev/mem are different now, and not validated.

The SPARC port now implements /dev/mem like all the other ports do.
