This change looks completely wrog for me. 'qfill' should not be here.
This and all the related stuff in further code turns internatls of netdev-dpdk
inside out and pushes them to the higher level. I don't like this.

Also, currently there are at least 3 patch-sets in OVS mail list targeted to get
some statisics and performance counters.
Can we just use approach similar to "netdev: Custom statistics." ?
(https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-January/342724.html)

We may collect drops or count high values of qfill using coverage counters or
in some other way.

'qfill', IMHO, should not belong to generic dp_packet_batch structure.
Butches are not for this.

Not needed empty line.

This breaks non-x86 build:

lib/dpif-netdev-perf.c:58:31: error: unknown register name 'eax' in asm
    register uint64_t tsc asm("eax");
                              ^

I'm sorry, but I'll vote to not accept changes like this. This is contraversal
to all the modular object-oriented architecure of OVS.

In the worst case you may pass something from this layer to be filled by netdev.
But I don't really like such approach too.

Hmm. Why this is done manually? Maybe PMD_CYCLES_UPCALL should be used here?

This looks strange.
Isn't it illogical to spend addtitional time requesting queue count if
we're already late in packet processing?
