Subject: netlink stats:   Ability to get stats for a single device?

 From what I can tell, it's impossible to request stats for a single
network device via netlink.  When you have thousands of interfaces,
this means a lot of wasted effort to get stats for a particular
device.

Am I missing something, or do I just need to write up a patch
to have netlink pay attention to the ifindex?

Thanks,
Ben
