So the monitoring thread just bounces around the system? Hope that the
scheduler does the right thing to keep it on processors that do some other
work.

Good point. Usually, all cpus have update items and monitor worker only makes
new noise. I think this feature is only useful some hpc case.  So I wonder if
this vmstat improvemnt can integrate Frederic's Nohz cpusets activity. I.e.
vmstat-update integrate timer house keeping and automatically stop when stopping
hz house keeping.
