I would prefer not to use long long in the driver for these counters.
hostapd should be able to notice the roll over and have another variable
for counting these. This would even match the RADIUS messages better,
since the gigawords attribute seems to be this roll over counter.. No
need to combine the numbers into a 64-bit counter anywhere in the driver
or hostapd..

output -> Output (?)
