New Revision: 309658
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/309658

Log:
  Provide dummy sysctls for v_cache_count and v_tcached.
  
  Some utilities (notably top(1)) exit if any of their input sysctls don't
  exist, and the removal of the above-mentioned PG_CACHE-related sysctls
  makes it difficult to run such utilities on different versions of the
  kernel without recompiling.
