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.
