This doesn't look like the right output to iproute to me, the two
command should not be using the same tag and the output of iproute
should always be formed to be valid input to iproute

Also looks bad, optional counters should not be marked specially at
this point.

This series is in a poor order, all the core update should come first
and the commit messages should explain what is going on when building
out the new APIs.

The RDMA/mlx5 patches can go last
