But I disagree that statistics belong in the __read_mostly. They are write mostly, in fact. :-) Some are incremented every single packet, and they are per-cpu objects as well. I agree with putting kmem cache objects et al. in there, that part of your patch is fine. Whilst we discuss the SNMP side of the changes further, why don't you split out the kmem cache __read_mostly changes because that isn't controversial and I can apply that immedialte. Ok?
