This is where it gets logistically tricky..

Since there's an API/ABI breakage notice in place on this, my own 
preference would be to have the entire patchset quashed into a single 
patch. Problem is that rte/app changes (patches 1 & 7-9) are normally 
applied via master whereas driver changes (patches 2-6) go in via 
dpdk-next-net - it is not clear to me how patches should be submitted 
for this case..

Opps, none. All relevant drivers are converted..

I kept rte_eth_xstats as it was the name already in use within DPDK. 
Will change the other.

Feedback I got with earlier patches was that a seperate count function 
was preferable to overloading the fetch function using *data==NULL - is 
the use of the latter specifically preferred?

Other comments noted.
