Joe - I was looking at the current upstream driver when I decided irq save/restore was not required. It looks to me like the stats gathered are produced by hardware and are not under CPU control. And in fact, the original intent of the lock portion of the patch was to prevent collision between simultaneous CPU read and writers, as well as update the stats whenever a reader requested them (e.g., ethtool).
