I know that this is a convention, but there are ample examples of
structures without the foo_ prefix on the fields - to my mind they
should be unnecessary.  You often see:

dk->dk_iostats = blah;

Which, to me, looks redundant compared to:

dk->iostats = blah;

About the only reason I can think of to have the structure element
prefixes there are for people who really couldn't be bothered thinking
of a vaguely meaningful name for their structure pointer (say, struct
disk p) and need the visual reminder of what the hell p is - which,
imho, is bad coding style.

Not saying, no I won't do it but, to be honest, I am wary about
perpetuating something that looks to have been done for a not very
good reason in the first place.

Alas, you missed the bit about the extra files being in
iostat_patch.tar.gz in /pub/NetBSD/misc/blymn on ftp.netbsd.org.
