p_[usi]ticks from userland without kvm and procfs?

Hello, -hackers!

I'm poring over some code that uses the p_[usi]ticks counters inside
of struct proc.  This is fine under 4.x where kinfo_proc includes
a copy of proc, but is broken under 5.x since a commit 3 years ago
that reorganized kinfo_proc.

So, outside of kvm and procfs, is there any user<->kernel interface
for getting to struct proc or just those counters?  (getrusage is
kinda close except one can't lookup info about another process.
:|. )

Any info is welcome.

TIA!
