Josh and I tried very hard to not reimplement anything already
available in some other tool or mechanism and used the examples we
already have for this in our other drivers.  That being said, we'll
abide and follow any clear criteria provided.

I don't think what's being done here is appropriate.

ethtool can provide the extended statistics.

We already have a way to dump registers in ethtool as well.  If you
want to add fine-grained register read support and write support, that
would be a nice addition to ethtool.
