Why thank you, kind Sir.
That was indeed the intention behind this work.

"Initially" means that Linux was the only system I'd had a chance to
try the code out properly, and make sure it reported sensible answers.
(Either equivalent to the old code, or more realistic values where the
old code was actually broken).

I've started looking at the *BSD systems, and hope to be in a position
to activate those early next week.   In the context of 5.4, ideally
I'd like to ship this with just the HAL-version of ucd-snmp/vmstat.
   (The other code would still be there, of course, and could be
configured in manually.  But the default would be to omit these, and
just run with the HAL version).

Great.
I believe you've got access to AIX systems?  It would be extremely
useful to give that version of the HAL CPU code a whirl.  I've written
the code based on on-line man pages, so it *ought* to work first time.
 But we both know that life ain't that simple!

Try compiling this (or any of the other versions that you fancy
trying) and let me know how you get on.
