I can see the benefit of having driver errors in the stats,
so it is generically stored for later analysis or print.
It could be managed at ethdev level instead of the application
doing the computation.

What about splitting the Tx errors in 2 fields? oerrors / ofull ?
Who said it's awful? sorry Bruce for anticipating ;)
