Sometimes, ARQ overflows are a big deal and tell us that the
firmware/hardware/driver/something is having problems. But normally
they're no big deal. To assist in assessing this, add a counter to
our Ethtool stats. A handful of ARQ overflows during VF init is no
problem. A large, ever-growing number indicates that Something Bad is
happening.
