This updates imissed in RxQ struct for all queues for basic stats, but
what if user only calls xstats, I guess in that case stat won't be updated.
 
Yes; that is expected. Since imissed is a member of rte_eth_stats; calling gve_dev_stats_get is the right way to get this stat.

I actually think that this should be a counter backed by an xstat as well. As far as I can tell xstats is meant to be a more flexible version of stats, and ultimately should be able to handle a superset of what basic stats can handle, for the purposes of querying, etc.

Looks good but please check following comments:

Checkpatch gives warning on the patch title, and this patch adds
'imissed' support so it can be added to the patch title, something like:
"net/gve: enable imissed stats for GQ format"

Can you please add 'gve_' prefix to the memzone name, to prevent any
possible collision.
Done.

What will happen if user asks stats/xstats after port stopped?
Good catch. I have added a null check so that the driver doesn't try to read stats from memory region that doesn't exist.
