very nice - these stats make IPSEC a lot more usable (I will go look and
see if theres anything that i have used for debug before that you dont
have and send you mail). Two comments:

1) Since these are not MIB stats, it sounds like a good idea not to use
_MIB_ extender in the naming. Maybe something like _NOTMIB_ ;-> or
totaly leave it out. One other approach is to push these to be a MIB at
IETF since they are sensible to have.

2) Why /proc? Are you going to make these available also via netlink? 

cheers,
jamal
