Well, I looked at the e1000, it doesn't update on every packet anyway, but seems to d/l from the card occasionally. I assume this is the method for high-speed drivers, otherwise we should split the tx & rx parts of the structure. 64 bit introduces potential compatibility problems (exporting via proc). And per-cpu feels like overkill to me.
