Sorry to say this is useless as a common helper, you should move it 
to mlx5.

The page pool stats have a standard interface, they are exposed over
netlink. If my grep-foo isn't failing me no driver uses the exact
strings mlx5 uses. "New drivers" are not supposed to add these stats
to ethtool -S, and should just steer users towards the netlink stats.

IOW mlx5 is and will remain the only user of this helper forever.
