Hi,

I don't pretend to understand how exactly this works in DPDK, but since the objective
is to not have packets in vring you could:

1. Disable the vq processing of new packets. (You introduced the 'enable' flag)
2. Wait a reasonable amount of time until the processing cores
    finish dealing with current packets.
3. Check the vqs that no packets are waiting for processing.

Again, this is only a suggestion and may be incomplete (or naive).

I tested it and it works just fine!

Thanks again,
