Minor Flag Day: Cap-Eye Install Users: iostat changes

Subject: Minor Flag Day: Cap-Eye Install Users: iostat changes

You can safely ignore this message if you are not doing (cap-eye) Install.

The putback for

PSARC/2006/519 Metadevice Names in iostat/vmstat Output
6402814 Solaris 10 vmstat performance degradation, due to excessive calls ...
4981132 iostat -Ecte header mal-formed
6466406 kstat: default_kstat_snapshot() should only set lastupdate for ...
6464368 iostat and mpstat call kstat_open, but not kstat_close
6467122 di_devlink_init leaks, missing free of db_dir in handle_free

has implications for (cap-eye) Install.  This change requires the
user-land libdevinfo.so library and the kernel to be in sync, so use of
Install is not safe. Use of bfu is, as always, safe.

Thanks,
Chris
