>Description:
Multiple values from "vmstat -s" are unreliable and appear to overflow.

E.g.

18446744073091529768 pagealloc desired color avail
18446744072282190447 pagealloc desired color not avail

>How-To-Repeat:
vmstat -s

Especially against some benchmarking tools and on multiprocessor longer running machines (30+ days).
>Fix:
Reflect the tool with reality of the current hardware.
