Currently each pmd thread loads the rx queues from the NICs on its NUMA
socket.
If you create more than one pmd thread per NUMA socket, the queues will be
assigned in a round robin fashion.

The function that does this is pmd_load_queues(). It is called in
pmd_thread_main().

We're discussing a way to provide more control for the user.
