Log:
  Describe the value in the 're' column of vmstat(8) in terms of freebsd's vm
  implementation.  The old description was left over from the 4.4 BSD Lite
  import in 1994, and was a bit misleading (not all arches use simulated
  reference bits, some implement reference tracking in hardware).

Modified:
  head/usr.bin/vmstat/vmstat.8
