Yes, and setoolkit too.

Even if it did resize, I'd get a bunch of entries I don't want.

Its the NIC on a V100/X1, but the X4100/X4200 have the same problem -
they use an e1000, but have the same behaviour with multiple kstats
per interface:

  e1000g.0.statistics
  e1000g0.0.e1000g0/0
  e1000g.0.e1000g0
  e1000g.1.statistics
  e1000g1.0.e1000g1/0
  e1000g.2.statistics
  e1000g2.0.e1000g2/0
  e1000g.3.statistics
  e1000g3.0.e1000g3/0

This is the real nub of the problem, setoolkit matching rules don't
let you pull out just the e1000g.0.e1000g0 entry, it picks up the
entire set. I haven't yet figured out how to persuade netif.se to skip
over the ones I don't want (without breaking it entirely :),
alternatively I could  augment the matching in setoolkit so it doesn't
return the ones which aren't wanted.
