[Click] Queue drops

[Robert Ross]

I've made an attempt at updating all the queue elements to output drops
on a secondary push port.  This seemed to work in userlevel, but caused
immediate kernel panics when running as a linuxmodule.  I'm still very
new to Click development.  Is this something you can add easily?  Seems
to me being able to "trap" dropped packets would be a very useful
feature.  In our particular situation, we want to send these packets to
a PCAP dump file for further analysis.

There isn't a specific reason.  Would it be useful for you?

do not have a secondary push output for dropped packets?  Most other
elements that drop packets will push them out a secondary port if
available.
