Shouldn't the "ARC Size Breakdown" be based on the current size (instead 
of the target size) no matter what?

If the current size was *less* than arc_max, you'd also get an 
nonsensical breakdown - in that case with the "recently used" and 
"frequently used" adding up to *more* than the current size.

It seems to me that the only thing that would be different between newer 
and older FreeBSD version would be whether arc_max would be described as 
a "Hard Limit" or not - which is maybe not that important to show.

If that's all true, then the patch should work for both older and newer 
versions of FreeBSD.
