"sizeof(unsigned long)" evaluates to 8 on 64-bit systems,
yet you assume it always evaluated to 4 as on 32-bit systems.

Maybe it would be wiser to explicitly use 'u32' and 'u64' for
the types of the snmp counters?

This has always been a sore area.

This is the new patch against 2.6.1 kernel.

I am personally fine with this patch, but I do believe some folks might find
it controversial (for whatever reason) to move all of these stats over to 64-bits.

So I'm going to let this sit for another day or two so people can voice any
objections they may have.
