	3.3-STABLE, but review of -current sources via cvs-web show the
	same problems there.

>Description:

	The sysctl interface wasn't providing signed-ness along with type
	information in oid_fmt. This caused /sbin/sysctl to erroniously
	display some values as signed when they are in fact unsigned.

	Unrelated, these patches also address the problem where in
	/sys/kern/vfs_cache.c is was registering sysctls as integer types
	when they were in fact longs. While this isn't a problem on i386
	where ints and longs are the same size, on alpha this should cause
	erronious values to be displayed by sysctl.

>How-To-Repeat:

	kern.ps_strings and kern.usrstack are always negative.

	Run sysctl -a on a box that has been running for a long time, and
	you will most likely notice negative counts in one of the
	vm.stats.sys variables.

>Fix:
	
	Here is a rather sizeable patch which touches the following files:

	src/sys/sys/sysctl.h
		Adds SYSCTL_UINT and SYSCTL_ULONG to provide friendly
		interfaces to the new unsigned int and unsigned long
		oid formats. The strings "IU" and "LU" are used as oid_fmt
		identifiers respectively.

	src/sbin/sysctl/sysctl.c
		Added support for the new "IU" and "LU" format strings.
		Also, fixed the displaying of dev_t to treat it as
		unsigned (as it is defined).

	src/sys/kern/vfs_cache.c
		Fixed problem noted above to export u_long-typed
		variables as unsigned longs rather than (signed) ints.

	src/sys/kern/kern_exec.c
		Fixed kern.ps_strings and kern.usrstack to be registered
		with SYSCTL_ULONG rather than SYSCTL_LONG. I also noted
		that both ps_strings and usrstack, which are defined as
		type "long" really should be "vm_size_t". However, I
		didn't make the change myself because I'de rather someone
		wiser to comment on the change first :)

	src/sys/kern/vm_meter.c
		Fixed the export of all the vm.stats.sys.* tree to use
		the new SYSCTL_UINT registration hook since all of the
		source values are unsigned.
