In netdev_linux_get_status(), I don't understand why we want to return
vport_stats_error. We know that we have driver info at that point, so
why not just return 0? It would save a system call.
I understand why you don't call netdev_linux_get_drvinfo() from
netdev_internal_open(), because you told me, but it's not obvious from
the code. I think that a comment is warranted.
Thanks,
Ben.
