There's a long history of telling people "You're polling a Linux system,
you have to know that you subtract buffers and cached from physical before
you report free memory" in the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.  I'm not against
simplifying, but - if people have data collection set up for "the old way",
where you have to subtract buffers and cached after collecting them, then
this change will result in double-subtraction.

In Arista EOS we handled this by adding another row to the table, to avoid
breaking existing data collection when someone upgrades.
