There is one property the kernel space method has over any user space
tool on a UP machine (and conceivably a SMP machine with more code) -
you get a complete atomic snapshot of the VM state. Might be useful

It would be pretty easy to change my kernel patch to produce what you're
requesting, from another sysrq key combination.
