From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg at intel.com>

Driver already counted allocation errors, so print
them as part of the ethtool -S output.  Useful for debugging
if your system is having trouble making memory available for
the driver.

Testing-Hints:
Look for rx_alloc_fail andi rx_pg_alloc_fail in the ethtool -S output.
Memory pressure or the kernel allocation failure simulator are
necessary to get the counters to increment.
