[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 03/11] enic: count truncated packets

Truncated packets occur on enic if an mbuf is not big enough to
receive it or there aren't enough mbufs if rx scatter is in use.
They show up as error packets but unlike other error packets (like
packets bad FCS) there are no nic drop counts incremented for them.
Truncated packets are calculated by subtracting hardware errors from
software errors. Note: this causes transient inaccuracies in the
ipackets count. Also, the length of truncated packets are counted
in ibytes even though truncated packets are dropped which can make
ibytes be slightly higher than it should be.
