I think it's kind of wrong to have sysctl's that print stats in dmesg.  You 
can either have a sysctl that returns a string and uses sbuf's (e.g. 
vm.phys_free) if you want formatting or even better, you can give each stat 
it's own sysctl.  This is more friendly for people to use when they aren't on 
the console (e.g. when you ssh into a box).
