The generic statistics structure is getting bigger as new statistics are
added in specific devices. For instance, fdir, tx_pause or loopback
stats do not apply on virtual devices. It won't be possible to add every
specific statistics in this generic stats structure, but on the other
hand these specific statistics are useful for debugging purpose.

This 2 patches introduces xstats_get() and xstats_reset() in
dev_ops. When registered by a device, it can be used to provide
arbitrary statistics that are identified by a name, as done by eththool
in kernel.

After that, some statistics could be moved from the generic structure to
this new framework, but it will be part of another patch series as it
should be discussed first.

Olivier Matz (2):
  ethdev: add a new rte_eth_xstats_get method to retrieve extended
    statistics
  testpmd: add a new command to get the extended statistics of a port

This method can be implemented by a poll mode driver to provide
non-standard statistics (which are not part of the generic statistics
structure). Each statistic is returned in a generic form: "name" and
"value" and can be used to dump PMD-specific statistics in the same way
than ethtool in linux kernel.

If the PMD does not provide the xstats_get and xstats_set functions, the
ethdev API will return the generic statistics in the xstats format
(name, value).

This commit opens the door for a clean-up of the generic statistics
structure, only keeping statistics that are really common to all PMDs
and moving specific ones into the xstats API.

Add a new token in "show port" command to dump the extended statistics
of a device. It validates the new xstats framework added in previous commit.

I like the idea, so Ack on the concept. :-)
