Because the information that was exported to /proc is available through
standard interfaces such as ethtool, pciutils, etc.  

ethtool -i eth<x> associates eth<x> with PCI bus:dev.func, so you should
be able to find what you need starting there.  Also note that ethtool -S
support was added for netdev stats.

If you find something missing, let's talk about an alternative.
