Thank you for clearing that up.

Sorry, where would it record that?  I can't find any stats counters on
 the "match" either in the software path or the offload API.

Am I right in thinking that offloaded counters don't do that?  As far
 as I can tell, the drivers with flower offload all use
 tcf_exts_stats_update() which takes a single 'bytes' count and adds
 it to all the actions.  (Presumably this is pre-edit length.)
