/** \file

    Optimized thread-safe counters.

    Each vlib_[simple|combined]_counter_main_t consists of a single
    vector of thread-safe / atomically-updated u64 counters [the
    "maxi" vector], and a (u16 **) per-thread vector [the "minis"
    vector] of narrow, per-thread counters.

    The idea is to drastically reduce the number of atomic operations.
    In the case of packet counts, we divide the number of atomic ops
    by 2**16, etc.
