The first option: It is my understanding that it preferred to only
report common stats via ndo_get_stats64.
"Please limit stats you report in ethtool -S to just the stats for which
proper interfaces don't exist. Don't duplicate what's already reported
via rtase_get_stats64(), also take a look at what can be reported via
various *_stats members of struct ethtool_ops."

Sorry, that was not at all clear.
I meant, as per the quote above, *_stats members of struct ethtool_ops,
other than those that implement extended ops.
e.g. get_rmon_stats.
