Thanks for this patch - I started work on a similar patchset.  Have you
considered changing the stats lookup design so that we only strcmp once
at initialization and then use the stats id to do the actual stats
processing?  If thing it's worthwhile, I would gladly donate some code to
the cause :-)

Otherwise it looks good.  Thanks for posting it ahead of the DPDK
release, so we can evaluate it!
