vmstat format for Red Hat 7.x systems

[Tom Georgoulias]

Ever since I've started testing hobbit to replace big brother, I've 
found that I need to force the use of the debian3/linux 2.2 vmstat 
output format for the handful of systems I have that still run Red Hat 
7.1 with 2.4 kernels.  As a result, I've been maintaing my own local 
patch that modifies do_vmstat.c, misc.c, misc.h to handle this.  Keeping 
my local patch updated is much easier since the post RC6 v2 patch came 
out, since I need to modify only misc.c from now on (thanks for 
simplying that Henrik!  ;).

Before I ramble on anymore, I was wondering if others were having 
success with vmstat graphing on Red Hat 7.x in its default form with 
Hobbit.  It'd be nice to not have to maintain my own local patch, but 
I'm not sure how customized some of our 7.x systems really are.

Just wondering.
