      ethtool: add uAPI for reading standard stats
      
      Continuing the effort of providing a unified access method
      to standard stats, and explicitly tying the definitions to
      the standards this series adds an API for general stats
      which do no fit into more targeted control APIs.
      
      There is nothing clever here, just a netlink API for dumping
      statistics defined by standards and RFCs which today end up
      in ethtool -S under infinite variations of names.
      
      This series adds basic IEEE stats (for PHY, MAC, Ctrl frames)
      and RMON stats. AFAICT other RFCs only duplicate the IEEE
      stats.
      
      This series does _not_ add a netlink API to read driver-defined
      stats. There seems to be little to gain from moving that part
      to netlink.
      
      The netlink message format is very simple, and aims to allow
      adding stats and groups with no changes to user tooling (which
      IIUC is expected for ethtool).
      
      On user space side we can re-use -S, and make it dump
      standard stats if --groups are defined.
      
      $ ethtool -S eth0 --groups eth-phy eth-mac eth-ctrl rmon
      Stats for eth0:
      eth-phy-SymbolErrorDuringCarrier: 0
      eth-mac-FramesTransmittedOK: 0
      eth-mac-FrameTooLongErrors: 0
      eth-ctrl-MACControlFramesTransmitted: 0
      eth-ctrl-MACControlFramesReceived: 1
      eth-ctrl-UnsupportedOpcodesReceived: 0
      rmon-etherStatsUndersizePkts: 0
      rmon-etherStatsJabbers: 0
      rmon-rx-etherStatsPkts64Octets: 1
      rmon-rx-etherStatsPkts128to255Octets: 0
      rmon-rx-etherStatsPkts1024toMaxOctets: 1
      rmon-tx-etherStatsPkts64Octets: 1
      rmon-tx-etherStatsPkts128to255Octets: 0
      rmon-tx-etherStatsPkts1024toMaxOctets: 1
      
      v1:
      
      Driver support for mlxsw, mlx5 and bnxt included.
      
      Compared to the RFC I went ahead with wrapping the stats into
      a 1:1 nest. Now IDs of stats can start from 0, at a cost of
      slightly "careful" u64 alignment handling.
      
      v2:
      
      Add missing kdoc in patch 5.
