PATCH 1/3 xen-netfront: use net_device's stats structure

struct net_device has its own stats structure, so use that instead. Also, we can use the default get_stats function.

ACK patches 1-3, but they still do not apply.

Since net-2.6.24 has gone upstream, you may send diffs against torvalds/linux-2.6.git if you like -- there are no outstanding dependencies at this time.

Yes, there was a larger patch which globally rolled all the private stats structures into the netdev one, so the xen-specfic one was redundant, and someone else submitted the deadcode removal one, so the only outstanding patch is this one:

Subject: xen-netfront: rearrange netfront structure to separate tx and rx

Keep tx and rx elements separate on different cachelines to prevent bouncing.
