Subject: [PATCH 0/9] 64 bit statistics for VM and 10G drivers

All 10G and virtual devices should be using the 64 bit statistics interface
because counters can wrap to fast. The standard monitoring program net-snmp
polls devices every 3 seconds (too fast), but even that can wrap too fast
to be detected.

Net-snmp needs to be updated to use netlink and handle 64 bit values.
It is still using /proc
