statfs() is a lot more useful interface than statvfs().  I'd like to
keep statvfs() as the ``standard'' interface, rather than extending it
to cover all of the information that statfs() has.

In order to grow statfs() we need to rev libc.  It might be
appropriate to do that in the 5.2 time frame, if we are still
anticipating that 5.2 will be the -stable crossover point.  RE team?
