[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/5] Extended xstats API in ethdev library to allow grouping of stats

[Michal Jastrzebski]

Extended xstats API in ethdev library to allow grouping of stats logically
so they can be retrieved per logical grouping – managed by the application.
Changed existing functions rte_eth_xstats_get_names and rte_eth_xstats_get
to use a new list of arguments: array of ids and array of values.
ABI versioning mechanism was used to support backward compatibility.
Introduced two new functions rte_eth_xstats_get_all and
rte_eth_xstats_get_names_all which keeps functionality of the previous
ones (respectively rte_eth_xstats_get and rte_eth_xstats_get_names)
but use new API inside. Both functions marked as deprecated. 
Introduced new function: rte_eth_xstats_get_id_by_name to retrieve
xstats ids by its names.
Extended functionality of proc_info application:
--xstats-name NAME: to display single xstat value by NAME
Updated test-pmd application to use new API.

v2 changes:
replaced grouping mechanism to use mechanism based on IDs
