Hi,
Currently we can check and change binary osreldate of another process via
procfs(5).
Kostik suggested to add a new sysctl for the same purpose and also extend
procstat to show osrel.
Here are patches I am going to commit if there are no objections or
suggestions.

I set the same permissions as for procfs(5) osrel -- so only user can read it,
but may be this is too restrictive and p_cansee on read would be ok?
I added osrel output to procstat -b option:
kopusha:~% procstat -b 2975
PID COMM OSREL PATH
2975 emacs 1000001 /usr/local/bin/emacs-23.3
Would this be ok or someone see a better way?
