I still see a large number of drivers that update dev->last_rx, although its
not all as I look through the list, so something definately seems amiss.

Some drivers still update dev->last_rx for their own needs, not a core
network concern.

But a cleanup is certainly possible on few other drivers, about a dozen
if I count correctly.

If its not going to be consistently updated, why are still carrying that field
in dev?  Are we just waiting on someone to do the janitorial work to remove it?
If so, I can, and I'll fix up the drop monitor in the process, to use a private
timestamp.

We have to keep dev->last_rx for bonding use, so please use a private
timestamp for drop monitor.

Thanks
