>Description:
memstat_kvm_malloc is broken in FreeBSD7. As a result vmstat -m does not work with crash dumps.

It has already been fixed in HEAD:

SVN rev 192148 on 2009-05-15 18:25:44Z by jhb

Update the KVM backend for malloc stats to catch up to the internal structure
BI change from the addition of DTrace malloc(9) probes.

Submitted by:	Ben Kelly  ben of wanderview dot com

I have tested this fix on 7.2-STABLE and it works well here too. So it would be nice to MFC this to FreeBSD7 as having kmalloc statistics form crashes is very useful sometimes.
>How-To-Repeat:
vmstat -m -M /dev/mem -N /boot/kernel/kernel

and compare with the output of

vmstat -m
