	The old interrupts shown with vmstat -i, on I386 on NetBSD 0.9 and 0.9A
show the device which is at the particular interrupt as well.  This would
be a nice feature and would make the vmstat -i more useful, since I can't
always remember which device is at which interrupt.
Here is an example output.


%vmstat -i
interrupt         count     rate
clk irq0       76952025       99
fdc0 irq6             1        0
aha0 irq11      1050840        1
ed2 irq9        2933743        3
Total          80936609      105
