[RFC net-next 00/13] net: page_pool: add netlink-based introspection

As the page pool functionality grows we will be increasingly
constrained by the lack of any uAPI. This series is a first
step towards such a uAPI, it creates a way for users to query
information about page pools and associated statistics.

I'm purposefully exposing only the information which I'd
find useful when monitoring production workloads.

For the SET part (which to be clear isn't addressed by this
series at all) I think we'll need to turn to something more
along the lines of "netdev-level policy". Instead of configuring
page pools, which are somewhat ephemeral, and hard to change
at runtime, we should set the "expected page pool parameters"
at the netdev level, and have the driver consult those when
instantiating pools. My ramblings from yesterday about Queue API
may make this more or less clear...
