Well, it is already under "kernel hacking".
I guess you missed it, right ?
+VM statistics support +CONFIG_VM_STATS + If you say Y here, the kernel will collect detailed information about + the VM subsystem. This information will be available in /proc/stats. + More documentation about this option can be found in + Documentation/vm/statistics. + This is only useful for kernel hacking. If unsure, say N. +
