Ahh, I did learn something then :).  That makes sense, ok. New patch attached.

Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch.
Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is
polled.  The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames
counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink
protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in
hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.
   
change notes:
1) added use of trace_state_lock around list_add_rcu operation
