Kernel memory usage

I was trying to co-relate the o/p from "top" to that I get from vmstat -z. I don't have any user programs that wires memory. Given that, I'm assuming the wired memory count shown by "top" is memory used by kernel. Now I would like find out how the kernel is using this "wired" memory. So, I look

Qemu allows you to choose different emulated architectures, CPUs, and machine bases. What's the downside? You have to use the command line. Install qemu and run

I may be required to move this to embedded, but I am only looking for generalisation. Recently a thread came up on questions regarding memory usage, and a post was made regarding wired memory being nearly all kernel- something I was ready to dispute, but then I thought I'd better make sure.
