Log:
Add ARP statistics to the kernel and netstat.
Thanks very much for this change. Any chance this struct can get explicitly
versioned (i.e. as for struct igmpstat) as it is a new struct?
For sysctls, explicit versioning doesn't help too much -- what I've been
pondering for another structure was including spares and having a capabilities
field in the structure where flags are set when fields are known by the
kernel. That way userspace can tell if the kernel knows about the field it
cares about and therefore whether they're worth looking at.
