[dpdk-dev] checking packet drop at NIC

[Richardson, Bruce]

The Intel DPDK does not at present support interrupts for dropped packets. Only support for link status change interrupts are supported at this time, but since the basics are there, it is possible with a bit of work to add handling for other interrupts if so needed.
