All an effort to get it to fit in under 80 chars.

I changed the format of the header below.

I am using the number of tx/rx packets transmitted as a sanity check
on the data.  This is a 64bit counter.  There is no iowrite64, so I
truncated this to 32bits.  I can rework this part of the patch to do 2
iowrite32's and keep the value as 64bit.

Thanks,
Jon
