The explanation is too much complex and misleading. You mean you cannot increase RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS above 256 because it is an 8-bit type?

If stats can be managed for more than 256 queues, I think it means it is not limited. In this case, we probably don't need the API *_queue_stats_mapping which was invented for a limitation of ixgbe. The problem is probably somewhere else (in testpmd), that's why I am against this patch.
