I suggest getting rid of "reset" altogether. Besides being
fundamentally incompatible with SNMP instrumentation, "reset" just
isn't necessary or complete as long as you have decent delta-
calculating tools. (And I'd really rather have a good way of
computing deltas -- especially as a non-privileged user -- than having
an inaccessible way to nuke kernel counters.)
