Implement compute_stats() in terms of devstat_compute_statistics(). This

gets rid of the duplicated code in compute_stats(). Add a new DSM_SKIP statistic type for devstat_compute_statistics() that causes the subsequent variable argument to be skipped. Thanks to Sergey Osokin for coding up my idea/code fragment. Submitted by: "Sergey A. Osokin"

Add some features to libdevstat, and overhaul the interface a bit:

2001-08-04T18:25:48Z

1.) prefix all functions in the library with devstat_ (compatability functions are available for all functions that were chaned in an incompatible way, but are deprecated). 2.) Add a pointer to a kvm_t as the first argument to functions that used to get their information via sysctl; they behave the same as before when NULL is passed as this argument, otherwise, the information is obtained via libkvm using the supplied handle. 3.) Add a new function, devstat_compute_statistics(), that is intended to replace the old compute_stats() function. It offers more statistics data, and has a more flexible interface. libdevstat does now require libkvm; a library depedency is added, so that libkvm only needs to be explicitely specified for statically linked programs. The library major version number is bumped. Submitted by: Sergey A. Osokin , ken (3) Reviewed by: ken
