This function should not be part of the generic API.
It's an ixgbe-only setup.
Cleanup is required here.

To be more precise, this index must be lower than the number of stat
counters (CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS=16) AND lower than the
number of ixgbe hardware counters (16 if I remember well).

A patch to fix this doxygen comment would be welcome.
Another patch to move this API in an ixgbe specific file would be great.

Thanks
