Hi Michael, Eric, 

Thanks for the reviews. Now stats_extra is inline in the bnx2 structure,
bnx2_open is cleaning stats_extra and I am doing a DMA to the statistics
structure before saving it.

In the following patch, I just called this I/O as specified above, 
but looking into the code, I saw that the following I/O is just called
when BNX2_FLAG_BROKEN_STATS is set, and I am not sure if my call is correct.

Here is my new patch:

[PATCH] bnx2: avoid flushing statistics when doing a MTU change

Actually when bnx2 changes the interface's MTU size, it resets
the chip and consequently flushes the interface statistics.
This patch saves the statistics in a temporary space in order to
maintain the statistics correct after the chip reset.

I see nothing in the driver/patch that will consolidate bp->dev->stats 
before your memcpy(). DMA transfert doesnt touch bp->dev->stats.

Please take a look at bnx2_get_stats()
