I see that here we (Intel) attempt for the first time to propose our 
"Unified stats" naming scheme [1].

Purpose is to have:
- common naming scheme (at least for the ice we have patch ~ready);
- less "customer frustration";
- easier job for analytical scripts, copying from wiki:
| The naming schema was created to be human readable and easily parsed

| All statistic strings will be comprised of three components:
| @Where, @Instance and @Units.  Each of these components is separated

| An example statistic that shows this is xdp-rx-dropped_q-23_packets.

That is one of the two main problems with the ethtool -S stats,
everyone comes up with new "common" standards, endlessly.
Queue the "Standards" xkcd.

Once we have a netlink GET for queues we can plonk the per queue stats
there pretty easily.
