This adds functionality to report driver stats to Hypervisor. (Users may want to turn this feature off as a matter of privacy so a "report-stats" flag is added as an ethtool priv option. It is also disabled by default.) The hypervisor would trigger a stats report in case "too many" packets dropped; the stats would be useful in debugging stuck queues. A "stats_report_trigger_cnt" stat is added to count the number of times the hypervisor attempts to trigger stats report. A timer is also added so that when report-stats is enabled, stat are updated once every 20 seconds.

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.
