Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next] Per interface IPv4 stats (CONFIG_IP_IFSTATS_TABLE)

I read the thread and understand some of the concerns, but these are
useful for network equipments. That's why in this patch, I made it as
configuration option.
If you have feedbacks, I'll appreciate them.

I can resend when net-next is opened again.

Thanks.
