Today, the 'do napi-get <ifindex>' will show all the NAPIs for a single 
netdev:
Example: --do napi-get --json='{"ifindex": 6}'

and the 'dump napi-get' will dump all the NAPIs for all the netdevs.
Example: netdev.yaml  --dump napi-get

Are you suggesting that we also dump each NAPI instance individually,
'do napi-get <ifindex> <NAPI_ID>'

Example:
netdev.yaml  --do napi-get --json='{"ifindex": 6, "napi-id": 390}'

[{'ifindex': 6},
  {'napi-info': [{'irq': 296,
                  'napi-id': 390,
                  'pid': 3475,
                  'rx-queues': [5],
                  'tx-queues': [5]}]}]
