I can agree with that, even after some formatting on the ethtool side:

Preemption statistics:
    TX Preemption event counter: 14070
    Good TX Preemptable Packets: 201957
    Good TX Express Packets: 32031
    TX Preempted Packets: 13259
    RX Preemption event counter: 0
    Good RX Preemptable Packets: 0
    Good RX Preempted Packets: 0
    Preemption Exception Counter:
        OOO_SMDC 0
        OOO_FRAME 0
        OOO_FRAG 0
        MISS_FRAME_FRAG 0

It's less than ideal, but useful for development/debugging.

I just took abother look at the standard, mainly at the MIBs, there are
no statistics related to frame preemption that I could find, only
configuration stuff.

Agreed, will drop this patch, until this common set is agreed upon.
