This is an interesting idea, that seems doable. You are right, the kernel
internal interface has changed somewhat over time (from looking at 2.6.9 source
vs. current source). For the example you included, I wonder if it wouldn't be
better to go ahead and call si_meminfo(), which would insulate us from kernel
changes a bit.

Which of the /proc/meminfo values would you consider most helpful for stap to
provide?

Another thought I had here was we could to name the stap functions after the
associated /proc/meminfo output, i.e. meminfo_memtotal(), meminfo_memfree(),
meminfo_buffers(), etc.
