netdev-dpdk: add dpdk rings to netdev-dpdk
Shared memory ring patch
This patch enables the client dpdk rings within the netdev-dpdk. It adds
a new dpdk device called dpdkr (other naming suggestions?). This allows
for the use of shared memory to communicate with other dpdk applications,
on the host or within a virtual machine. Instructions for use are in
INSTALL.DPDK.
This has been tested on Intel multi-core platforms and with the client
application within the host.
