Aren't there 2 sets of stats at play here? 1. packets punted to the control plane / CPU, 2. packets forwarded through the ports. If you have the netdev counters resemble packets handled through the port it could be confusing to someone looking at packets handled by the OS. What about having detailed counters local to the driver (i.e., ethtool -S) show the low level stats like packets handled through the port?
