I added some evcnt counters and after 25 hours on my 512MB 2.0 branch
i386 (with yamt's recent anonpages accounting fix) I see:

	thoreau 10> vmstat -ev | grep uvmscan
	uvmscan anonunder                                 0        0 misc
	uvmscan fileunder                                 0        0 misc
	uvmscan execunder                              1745        0 misc
	uvmscan anonover                                457        0 misc
	uvmscan fileover                               1079        0 misc
	uvmscan execover                                  0        0 misc

Is it worth adding this to our sources (maybe #ifdef UVMSCAN_COUNTERS)?
The "uvmscan" might be better as "uvmpd_scan" too...
