statfs is deprecated as of LSB 3.2, with recommendations to use statvfs.
 
There is a mention of the re-add in the errata doc for 3.1:

http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.1.0/tc1.html

And it is back in 3.2, marked as deprecated:

http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/libc.html
http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/baselib-statfs-2.html
