This needs more work
- library routines shouldn't print to stdout or stderr, especially when
there is a function like kvm_geterr() for reporting errors.
- no swap is not an error.
- top still gets a SIGFPE (the bug is in top -- it divides by
swpary[0].ksw_total which may be 0).
- pstat and systat have the same bug as top.
- libkvm is still bloated with support for old swapping methods, despite
more important parts of libkvm not working with kernels more than a
few days old because the proc struct changed significantly.
