Running two instances of test application will be a challenge I guess.
If it can be done, I think all the cases covered in test app other than crypto would
be affected/tested.

Test-crypto-perf can be a better option but it may defeat the purpose of test-crypto-perf.
Best would be to make l2fwd-crypto compliant with multi process.
But still I am ok to have a unit test application.
