Some drivers count XON/XOFF in the Tx statistics, some do not.
I actually a bit uncertain, but I _think_ the correct way is not
to count them, hence this series.
Okay, it seems there are much more drivers doing that. Perhaps we need
to add that to the rest in this case (i.o.w. invert the series from removal
to addition)?
Interesting, perhaps cut & paste?
XON and XOFF are overhead IMO. So should not be counted. When they are,
they mangle statistics as in transmitted (real) bytes per second.
How are they handled on the RX side?
