If you want to know the total offload count, You can just create an api like rte_eth_get_xx_offload_count to reuse the rte_xx_offload_names
So we don't need maintain same information in two place, 
But still, in your testpmd, I saw the loop will break at first UNKNOWN, so loop from 0 to 63 is still no waste, am I right?
maybe you need to give a better example for why we need this
