Subject: [PATCH] net: reset network device counters on the fly

Hello everyone,

This is my first post to the mailing list and also my first kernel patch.

There was an scenario where I needed to clear network device counters
without shutting down the interface.
With this patch I add this functionality to /proc/net/dev.

Usage example:
echo clear eth0 > /proc/net/dev
echo clear all > /proc/net/dev

Thanks for your comments and please feel free to reply with any
suggestions you may have.
