Looking at all of this code I think that it might be too heavy
for just a single function to increment single sequence number.
Another approach:
Maybe we could just call rtnetlink_report_link() as a workaround.
netdev-dpdk is Linux dependent right now anyway.
What do you think?
That would work, but it’s not really thread safe, as its will be
called from the eal interrupt thread
