No we do not have a public git tree, but do not worry about it.  Feel
free to send patches, and I can work through most of the issues if any
arise.  So no worries there...

Regarding your patches, during testing we saw a significant difference
in the stats reported by ifconfig versus the stats reported by
ethtool.  Reason being that ethtool stats do not take into account the
RQDPC numbers.  I have been looking at fixing that in the patches, so
while all the testing looks good (except for the difference in
numbers) the patches will be delayed a day or so, while I fix the
ethtool reporting of RQDPC.
