[NET]: Generic network statistics
This patch moves the following files in /proc:
/proc/net/rt_cache_stat /proc/net/stat/rt_cache
/proc/net/ip_conntrack_stat /proc/net/stat/ip_conntrack
/proc/net/arp_cache_stat /proc/net/stat/arp_cache
/proc/net/clip_arp_cache_stat /proc/net/stat/clip_arp_cache
/proc/net/dn_neigh_cache_stat /proc/net/stat/dn_neigh_cache
This allows a generic statistics tool to scan for all available statistics
by doing readdir(2) on /proc/net/stat
It also adds a special first 'template' line to rt_cache and ip_conntrack
in order to facilitate compatibility once somebody adds new fields to the
output lines.
WARNING:
This breaks existing rtstat.c and ctstat.c userspace programs
(hopefully for the last time). rtstat is non-existant or broken in
major distributions anyway, and ctstat is too new for any distros
having it picked up. Therefore, we justify this breakage.
A new unified statistics tool for routing cache, connection tracking and
neighbour cache is under development and will be included with iproute2.
