Can we not add stuff like that spews output to the console?  I much 
prefer to see a tool that dumps the stats and if you need to get to them 
w/o the tool then consider adding a ddb cmd.  We're just about to get 
the ability to add ddb cmds in loadable modules which was the only 
reason not to leverage ddb for stuff like this.

I see this done in several drivers and hate it.  I'd like to see this 
approach not be copied in the future.
