We originally had fairly similar ProcessFreeBSD and ProcessLinux
plugins (with, unfortunately, a lot of cut-and-pasted code). Todd
Fiala later implemented the Native*Linux plugin to support lldb-server
-- it's an improvement over the original implementation, but needs to
be ported again. It's not trivial but shouldn't be too difficult. I
just haven't been able to find time to work on it yet.

There's also another remote debugserver, Facebook's ds2, with an
in-progress FreeBSD port. We could make use of that instead.
