[collectd] [Patch] Netlink plugin: query 64bit counters where possible

[Marc Fournier]

Hello Bruno,

Thanks a lot for your patch !

I wanted to give it a try, but then noticed someone else implemented the
same feature in a different way. His patch was merged to the master
branch (which means it will be in version 5.5). Here is his patchset:

Cheers,
Marc
