The problem is that 'struct kinfo_proc' includes a 'struct vmspace',
so we need to include _something_ to get that structure definition.
Because non-kernel source always includes those 4 headers, sysctl(3)
just says include include <sys/param.h> and <sys/sysctl.h>.  It's kernel
source that need to explicity include <vm/vm.h>.  If we localise the
inclusion to <sys/sysctl.h> now that's less kernel source to fix later
when you do remove <vm/*.h>...

Given hindsight, it might have been better to put 'struct kinfo_proc'
into <sys/proc.h> but it's perhaps too late for that now, or is it?
