Sorry that I missed this. At that time it was IPv4 ifstats. I'm missing
the rest of the context here. Which IPv6 stats are being discussed here?

For my company, we have been doing the v4 stats using the implementation
that I brought up to netdev then. It is useful to debug forwarding
errors but it is an overhead having the out of tree patch everytime
kernel upgrade is needed, esp on upgrade to a major version.

Thank you,

Stephen.
