Such a field in /proc/net/dev would serve utilities that would like to
return a "percent utilization" of an interface. I've been looking around
for the best way to do this, short of blasting the interface with packets
and measuring the time intervals.
This may not be for the kernel's own sake, but for applications that could
make use of such a piece of information.
