Can you explain why '+1,000,000'?  Is it because it makes it possible to
answer this particular question (what process is listening on a port),
or is there some other greater functionality beyond pfiles(1) + this
RFE that this would provide?  I ask because the interfaces lsof uses
(namely /dev/kmem) are too brittle to suport in any coherent fashion.
Integrating LSOF would be more than checking in code.  We'd have to
provide stable interfaces (or at last *an* interface that could be
contracted) and modify the lsof code to use those, which is a
non-trivial amount of work.
