You still have to have planned ahead because `ifconfig' needs to know how to 
get and display these 64-bit values.  Currently it assumes the statistics are 
32 bits wide.  Fortunately, it isn't very closely coupled to the kernel so it 
would be easy enough to expand ifconfig's idea of these things without 
affecting anything else.
