If you start trying to add threads like this, it will lead to
all sorts of locking problems.  When one thread gets the lock
and then gets preempted by the scheduler and another thread
(bound to same lcore) tries to acquire the lock, it will spin
and wait until the first thread is rescheduled.

DPDK was designed for dedicated threads per lcore.
