I don't think extra nesting is a good idea because when we are called for
IFLA_STATS_LINK_DRIVER_XSTATS we can't distinguish between subtypes of it.
So for each driver stats we are going to need different XSTATS types anyway.
We shouldn't return all the stats a driver can provide when we are asked for one.
HW_ACL_DROPS shouldn't be queried when user want SW stats nor the other
way around.
(And I think that stats exposed here should be well defined so they could
be exposed to ifstat. The place for not well define stats is in ethtool)
