How about if we do this:

5.x:  List sfbufs both in vmstat _and_ in netstat -m, as their status is 
relevant to both network and general memory usage.

4.x:  MFC the vmstat implementation.

This would preserve 4.x's behavior, but allow 5.x users (who have a new 
netstat -m output format anyway) to see sfbuf information without invocing 
multiple utilities.
