The root cause is a conversion error of ours when the ifnet counter API
was updated in 10.x I think.
The CX-3/4 adapters use hardware counters for incoming packets and bytes
and the following piece of code was doing the duplicate counting:

In previous versions of the driver we simply assigned the counter value,
so this additional count was not so visible, while in later versions we
needed to use addition only, which is where the bug happend.
