 This is not "corruption", nor is it a "regression"; that element was
 intentionally removed from struct uvmexp.
 
 It appears that uvm(9) was not updated to reflect this.
 
 It also appears that this bubblemon-dockapp is broken; it should be
 using struct uvmexp_sysctl and the VM_UVMEXP2 sysctl to get it, rather
 than struct uvmexp and VM_UVMEXP.
