Hi Everyone,

  Playing around with EFD and seeing some really bizarre behavior in a
multi-core environment. Is it safe for multiple logical cores to be making
EFD table updates while another logical core is performing lookups? Side
note: the core which is making lookups is where the offline table resides.

Intuition tells me this is probably not safe, but the docs make no mention
of thread safety.

Thanks,
-Rob
