We can either rollback and only allow 'nb_pkts<=32', or do some broken fix as below diff.
By the result of performance test (4*10GE 64B burst_size(32) iofwd by scattered_pkts_vec), there's no drop.
But I'm not sure it is important or not to allow burst size larger than 32. Your comments will be important.

The _recv_raw_pkts_vec() won't wrap around RXD ring. When it reaches the last one, the DD bit of padding desc. always 0.
So in the case nb_pkts > rxq->nb_desc, the '_recv_raw_pkts_vec()' can only get no more than 'rxq->nb_desc' packets.
