- Fixed an issue when TX queue can hang when a lot of highly fragmented
- packets have to be sent.
- As part of that fix, tx_rs_thresh for ixgbe PMD is not allowed to be greater
- then to 32 to comply with HW restrictions.

+* **ixgbe: Fixed rx error statistic counter.**
+
+ Fixed an issue that the rx error counter of ixgbe was not accurate. The
+ mac short packet discard count (mspdc) was added to the counter. Mac local
+ faults and mac remote faults are removed as they do not count packets but
+ errors, and jabber errors were removed as they are already accounted for
+ by the CRC error counter. Finally the XEC (l3 / l4 checksum error) counter
+ was removed due to errata, see commit 256ff05a9cae for details.

+* **ixgbe: Removed CRC bytes from byte counter statistics.**
