I would really like to see some sort of convention for presenting
per-queue statistics through ethtool.  At the moment we have a complete
mess of different formats:

Indeed.  Probably ${QUEUE_TYPE}-${INDEX}-${STATISTIC} is best.
With an agreed upon list of queue types such as "rx", "tx", "rxtx"
etc.

I think we should leave the type names open-ended, as there are other
useful groupings like per-virtual-port.  In that case the separator
should be chosen to allow arbitrary type names without ambiguity.
