The setup is quite simple. I send broadcast traffic to the dut on which 
I run l2fwd (with xdpsock) and expect the stats to increase. But after 
4096 packets, the stats stop incrementing. And I see this issue only 
with 64 byte packet and not with 1500 byte packets. I am suspecting 
could be some race condition or some bug in our dma controller. I am 
tracking this issue and post a fix for this separately.
