DPDK allows calling some part of its API from a non-EAL thread but this has some limitations. OVS (and other applications) has its own thread management but still want to avoid such limitations by hacking RTE_PER_LCORE(_lcore_id) and faking EAL threads potentially unknown of some DPDK component. Introduce a new API to register non-EAL thread and associate them to a free lcore with a new NON_EAL role. This role denotes lcores that do not run DPDK mainloop and as such prevents use of rte_eal_wait_lcore() and consorts. Multiprocess is not supported as the need for cohabitation with this new feature is unclear at the moment.
