really wanted from this commit was the support for proc_specificdata.
TODO: make creating a new process actually use kern_proc and
maybe even add an interface which starts a process with
"any pid you don't like"
to it from kern_proc.c to kern_lwp.c. This makes kern_proc
"scheduling-clean" and more easily usable in environments with a
non-integrated scheduler (like, to take a random example, rump).

Fix detection of crashed test cases
Prevent cross-test-case contamination that occured when a first test case
passed and the second crashed. The second could pick up the result of the
first test case and not be reported as failed.
Similarly, change the way timed out test cases are reported back to the
caller. The creation of a temporary results file was just a really stupid
way of passing information around and introduced false positives if the
test case creates a results file before timing out.
Fixes ticket #35.

Problem originally reported by pooka@.
the crash went away -- it's not clear that it went away for any reason
besides by accident.
The change is: use calloc instead of malloc for allocating SCREENs.
In aps(4) note that sensor values are refreshed every 0.5 seconds, which may
have a negative effect on battery life.
(Since the sensors are purely descriptive and no time-sensitive protective
measures are being carried out, it would probably be a good idea to remove
the whole callout(9) from the driver and let the sysmon's poll cycle take
over.)
/stand/arch/vers/kmods works in rump (and that the result is usable ;).
On i386 this "just works". For amd64, due to -mcmodel=kernel,
things are a little more complicated. We must have the entire rump
kernel loaded in the lower 2GB. Currently, this can be done either
by using the non-PIC version for the rump kernel compiled with
-mcmodel=small, or, as njoly pointed out, using netbsd32, which
causes vm_default_addr() to give something in the lower 2GB and
therefore shared libs "magically" getting loaded there. I guess
it would be possible to put a suggested vaddr into the rump kernel
libs and make ld.elf_so map memory from the suggested address if
present ... but that's another show.
Also thanks to tron for access to an amd64 so that I could verify
the test works.
