Hi Jiri,

Why do we need a way to reset those counters? What is the problem with having those counters 
monotonically increase until the system is rebooted? Do we have a way to reset other network 
statistics (/sys/class/net/eth0/statistics/* for example)?

Except from this "do we need this feature" question, the code sounds good to me.

	Nicolas.

Well, it's handy to be able to clear this counters when you resolve
a problem so future issues are crearly seen as non-zero.

We don't allow this in any way for netdev counters, for good reasons,
so please don't add things like this.

Well technically this is not netdev counter directly. But fair enough.

Thanks.
