Adding a new module that tracks the number of bytes/packets transfered by a network interface, even after the interface has been removed.
This is relevant to track the total data usage in mobile devices whose interfaces are added and removed quite frequently (WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G,..).
Monitoring is done only for devices that are configured with a valid IP address (check to exclude virtual/loopback/tunnel interfaces).

Included a little modification for the out-of-date HD2 .32 kernel.
commit 9ef0298a8e5730d9a46d640014c727f3b4152870 upstream.
Like many other places, we have to check that the array index is
within allowed limits, or otherwise, a kernel oops and other nastiness
can ensue when we access memory beyond the end of the array.

The problem goes back to v2.6.30-rc1~1372~1342~31 where nf_log_bind
was decoupled from nf_log_register.
