If the argument of -o specifies a directory, dump the files without using a
prefix.

# 1.16 25-Sep-2016 deraadt

Make a move towards ending 4 decades of kernel snooping.

Add sysctl kern.allowkmem (default 0) which controls the ability to open
/dev/mem or /dev/kmem at securelevel > 0. Over 15 years we converted 99%
of utilities in the tree to operate on sysctl-nodes (either by themselves
or via code hiding in the guts of -lkvm).

pstat -d and -v & procmap are affected and continued use of them will
require kern.allowkmem=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf. acpidump (and it's
buddy sendbug) are affected, but we'll work out a solution soon.

There will be some impact in ports.

Don't suggest running the AML parser as root. :-)

kindly pointed out by jmc@


# 1.14 13-Mar-2014 jmc

oops! none of us spotted that pkg_add is section 1, not 8;


# 1.13 13-Mar-2014 brynet

Correction from jmc@, sort references alphabetically.


# 1.12 13-Mar-2014 brynet

Add a reference to the ACPICA utilities, with examples.

move the list of options to the right place on the manual page;
while here, remove an obsolete url.

Don't disassemble the AML if the -o option is specified. That way at least
we get the complete files if the disassembler crashes on a machine.

Start on a basic ACPI framework -- does not do much more than read out the
ACPI tables into kernel memory and attach ACPI and HPET timers currently.

In order to test this code, enabling the devices in GENERIC as well as
the ACPI_ENABLE option is needed. This code does not do any thermal
control yet, so this should be done with care depending on the platform.

In the tree so more people can contribute to making this more fully
featured.
