I think using 'overflow' instead of 'reversed' is more clear.

As far as I can see from code, these are 32 bit values, can be good to 
mention in the commit log.

The lock covers most of the 'stats_get()' function, but only Rx/Tx queue 
stats needs to be protected, you may consider reducing the scope of the 
lock. Same for below functions.

I guess this should be 'rte_spinlock_lock()'
