There is already a ps script for gdb in sys/gdbscripts.  gdb is very
useful, and can do just about everything you want to do.

HOWEVER... I don't always have a kernel w/ symbols lying around, and
I _quite often_ use `normal tools' to look at various kernel data
structures when I'm tracking down a problem.  Note that I also use
gdb on the kernel quite a lot, and I still like using the regular
system tools in certain situations.
