How do you support

	fsblkcnt_t    f_blocks  total number of blocks on file
				system in units of f_frsize

if you set statvfs.f_frsize = 0? I can image people use f_bsize to
optimize I/O on the filesystem. f_frsize is mainly used for calculating
filesytem usage.

I think it is the right way to go.
