Sure, will add with a followup patch.
One question, though.
Do we want default to expose nothing, and options to add groups, is this
correct?

So usage would be something like

virsh domstats  # equivalent to --all , I suppose
virsh domstats --block  # only block group
virsh domstats --interface --vcpu  # only vcpu and interface

Thanks and bests,
