Display and count some useful hot-path statistics. The usefulness is as follows: - tx_restart: use to determine if the transmit ring size is too small or if the transmit interrupt rate is too low. - rx_gro_dropped: use to count drops from GRO layer, which previously were completely uncounted when occurring. - tx_busy: use to determine when the driver is miscounting number of descriptors needed for an skb. - tx_timeout: as our other drivers, count the number of times we've reset due to timeout because the kernel only prints a warning once per netdev. Several of these were already counted but not displayed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
