  The ixgbe imissed statstic originally only contained dropped packets
counted by the RXMPC registers. This change includes additional types of
packet drops counted by the QPRDC registers.

Intel support confimed that the packet drops counted by the QPRDC registers
do not double-count drops counted by RXMPC registers:

"RXMPC counts packets that are dropped because there is no room in the
internal packet buffer.  QPRDC counts packets that are dropped because they
can't be transferred to system memory. These packets have been stored in
the internal packet buffer, so there should be no overlap with RXMPC."

Sorry about all the revisions, I hit some style issues I didn't know about.

Be nice, it's my first time contributing anything :)

If Rx queue is disabled in the RXDCTL register, packet direct to this queue is also dropped and count by this 
Register QPRDC, but the definition of imissed is "Total of RX packets dropped by the HW because there are no available buffer" in rte layer.
So, it maybe mislead users if we mix the 2 statistic, is that so?
Also, x550 has other definition for this register, we can not mix them.

Hi, Cody Harris

  More info, you can get the number of dropped packet per queue by stats->q_errors, 
No need to add this into imissed.

Hi Zhao Wei,

I understand that the QPRDC drop count is available by stats->q_errors. I'm interested to know why imissed doesn't include it. The name imissed makes it sound like the counter counts incoming missed (valid) packets regardless of where the drop occurs during reception.

I think the name imissed is misleading if it doesn't include all types of dropped valid packets, so I made this CR to see how receptive the DPDK maintainers would be to include all dropped packet counts.

Thanks for your review,

~Cody
