Symptoms:
	PHCO_25159:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHCO_21894 to VVOS

	Based on HP-UX patch PHCO_21894:
	In a multi processor system, if any processor other
	than the last processor is deallocated, vmstat(1)
	shows incorrect cpu usage and average cpu usage
	information.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_25159:
	Ported HP-UX patch PHCO_21894 to VVOS

	Based on HP-UX patch PHCO_21894:
	In a multiprocessor system of say, n processors,
	when a processor other than processor "n" is
	deallocated, vmstat(1) skips the information of
	processor "n" instead of the deallocated processor.
	While calculating the averages, vmstat(1) takes the
	deallocated processor into consideration instead of
	processor "n".

	Resolution:
	The mpctl(2) call is used in vmstat(1) to find the
	allocated processors' numbers and vmstat(1)
	is made to display and calculate information
	only for the allocated processors.
