I'm not sure if I should change this format since the above line is
introduced in commit 7d58e6555870d ('net-sysfs: add backlog len and
CPU id to softnet data').
The seq->index here manifests which cpu it uses, so it can be
displayed in 'int' format. Meanwhile, using %8x to output is much
cleaner if the user executes 'cat /proc/net/softnet_stat'.

What do you think about this?

Thanks,
Jason
