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.
