>Description:

1. In one place, the driver do if_ierrors++. The increase get lost, since
the driver recompute if_ierrors from scratch in ixgbe_update_stats_counters()

2. "Missed Packed Counter" (MPC) registers reset to 0 after reading. The code in
ixgbe_update_stats_counters() does not correctly account for it. 
For this reason, netstat -i usually show 0 errors on 'ix' interfaces, even 
though there were missed packets some time ago.
