  Modified files:
    sys/sys              malloc.h 
  Log:
  Force the "calls" count for malloc types to be 64 bit where it keeps track
  of the number of times a particular type has been used.  It's rather easy
  to overflow.  One site I'm looking at seems to do it in a matter of days.
  On the Alpha this is a no-op since 'long' is 64 bit already.  The sole
  user of this interface seems to be vmstat -m and friends which will need
  a recompile.  The overheads of using a 64 bit int should be pretty light
  as the kernel just does "calls++" type operations and that's it.
