That will create a very long output (num_cpu_possible = 128 on my machine) for 
ethtool,
While doesn't provide additional info.
num_present_cpus() would cause problem only if someone removed cpu 
between netvsc_get_sset_count() and netvsc_get_strings() and 
netvsc_get_ethtool_stats(). 

An alternative way could be: Check all stats, and only output if not zero. 
This need to be done in two pass. First pass to get the correct count, second 
pass to print the number.
Is there an elegant way to do this?
