Noob question - would it be an option to establish some form of
streaming statistic updates out of the kernel?  The notion of user
space trying to keep track of the time here seems a bit shaky.  Would
it be an option with netlink to open a socket and request specific
set of statistic to be dumped on it periodically if they changed?
I guess it would be way more code that the patch you present...
