We took away /dev/kmem for a reason. If you want it back, you can
specifically ask for it using boot-args. But it's not there by
default on purpose.

If you absolutley must ask the OS for information you should
already know, then the way to do it is via our tools that know how
to ask. We won't be breaking our tools for no reason. That would

Unless someone changes the data interfaces those tools depend on, in
which case getting your tool to stay the same involves work ;-). As
an invented example:
$ top
top: could not open /dev/kmem: no such file or directory
