I've got the patches written for this, but I've got a question.  There's a 

svc_seq_show(seq, &nfsd_svcstats);

in nfsd/stats.c.  This appears to be an empty struct, there's nothing that
utilizes it, so this is always going to print 0 right?  There's a svc_info in
the nfsd_net, and that stats block appears to get updated properly.  Should I
print this out here?  I don't see anywhere we get the rpc stats out of nfsd, am
I missing something?  I don't want to rip out stuff that I don't quite
understand.  Thanks,

Josef
