Hi Jiri,

Why do we need a way to reset those counters? What is the problem with having those counters 
monotonically increase until the system is rebooted? Do we have a way to reset other network 
statistics (/sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/* for example)?

Except from this "do we need this feature" question, the code sounds good to me.
