Applied Eric, but the file paths in your patch were bogus and needed
to be fixed up:

We dont need a full struct net_device_stats (currently 23 long : 184 bytes on
x86_64) per possible CPU, but only two counters : bytes and packets
We save few CPU cycles too in loopback_xmit() not updating 4 fields, but 2.
