Synopsis: [fxp] [patch] cumulative error counters for fxp(4)

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-Why: 
Close.
fxp(4) implemented all MAC counters supported by controller with
sysctl(8) and these counters are not cleared unless you unload
driver. Having a common interface for MAC counters would be great
in theory but it's really hard to do that because there are too
many controllers that provides more/less counters than that of
RFC 1650. Personally I think it's better to leave it to driver to
expose controller specific MAC counters.
