Some applications forward from/to host rings most or all the traffic received or sent on a physical interface. In this cases it is desirable to have more than a pair of RX/TX host rings, and use multiple threads to speed up forwarding. This change adds support for multiple host rings. On registering a netmap port, the user can specify the number of desired receive and transmit host rings in the nr_host_tx_rings and nr_host_rx_rings fields of the nmreq_register structure.
