I would still like to know why statistics that are so closely related
are gathered in different places. Why is ifp->if_opkts++ in the device
driver? My first theory was that it must have something to do with
packet fragmentation where it wouldn't be possible to determine the
number of packets higher up in the protocol stack, but I can't think
of a scenario where this would be the case....
