Why not just do this right, and move the statistics into the "queue structure". Get rid of that ugly kstat thing. Get rid of all the special case lookups. We already need to have the queue structure to do the queuing (surprise, surprise), so suddenly statistics are (a) cheap and (b) right.
So then /proc just needs to be changed to look at the queues instead of looking at this kstat thing.
