The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.
I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

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.

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.

generation was causing unaligned access faults on the Alpha.
I have incremented the devstat version number, since this is an interface
change. You'll need to recompile libdevstat, systat, iostat, vmstat and
rpc.rstatd along with your kernel.
