All the uses I found (building amd64 GENERIC with a renamed field)
showed the kernel expects it to be bytes.
p_vm_vsize is documented as being pages.

The entire source tree only contains 3 references of p_vm_vsize
(including the defn).
The other is:
./lib/libkvm/kvm_proc.c:     kp2p->p_vm_vsize = kp->kp_eproc.e_vm.vm_map.size;

I'm surprised 'ps' can't display it!
