Yeah, if I'm counting right we're reusing like 38% of the fields, only.
We're better off with a new structure.  

OK.

Thanks, BTW I noticed that what Roopa has is very close (just missing
multicast):

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220222025230.2119189-12-roopa@nvidia.com/ (local)

There are other structures (grep include/ for rx_bytes) already in tree
but none as close.

That's if you wanted to push for reuse (I presume you may prefer not
to), just an FYI..
