Yes, but does it need to be in public namespace in sysctl.h?  It is a part
of separate interface - kvm(3), rarely used by regular applications.  And
more to the point, it includes struct proc, struct lwp and so on, which is
messy.  I realise that we probably cannot do much without breaking backwards
compatibility, though..
