That doesn't include stat info though IIRC.  You can get a pathname that is
the same you would get from /proc/curproc/file (so it may fail and be empty),
but you don't get st_dev or st_ino.

I have thought that it might be useful for kinfo_file to include a full
'struct stat' and use the fo_stat() method of each file to fill it in, but
that is not present currently.
