Description

sockmod_pfp uses uint16 counters to record data for getsockopt(PACKET_STATISTICS).
Longer traces and/or high packet rates could quickly cause roll-over in those counters. It would be advantageous to use 32bit or larger counters.

Here, we opt to retain the old PACKET_STATISTICS ioctl value and instead change PACKET_STATISTICS to a new form which indicates that is has a newer buffer which is large enough to handle the new structure size and expects the new structure layout.
