Looks like I was somewhat overzealous, and did not do enough testing.
While the patch above does allow Nagios to process the performance data
from the check_ifstatus plugin, the $PERFDATA output is still not
formatted correctly.

I'll look at it again when I have some more time, although I'm going to
have to study up on the output method first, so it may take me a while.
