This adds the code for a new Intel DPDK library for packet distribution.
The distributor is a component which is designed to pass packets
one-at-a-time to workers, with dynamic load balancing. Using the RSS
field in the mbuf as a tag, the distributor tracks what packet tag is
being processed by what worker and then ensures that no two packets with
the same tag are in-flight simultaneously. Once a tag is not in-flight,
then the next packet with that tag will be sent to the next available
core.
