Some kernel memory allocation issues:

1)	Does it seem to anyone else as if the statistic's gathering
	macros on the MALLOC/FREE are rather bizarre?


2)	Has anyone else noticed the mixing of FREE/free on cn_pnbuf
	elements of nameidata structures?  Doesn't this seem broken,
	considering the use of MALLOC in the non-'HASBUF' case for
	allocation in all cases in vfs_lookup.c?  Won't this fail
	for the case of a kernel without either KMEMSTATS or
	DIAGNOSTIC defined?
