        Previously rxqs were assigned to pmds by round robin in
        port/queue order.
        
        Now that we have the processing cycles used for existing rxqs,
        use that information to try and produced a better balanced
        distribution of rxqs across pmds. i.e. given multiple pmds, the
        rxqs which have consumed the largest amount of processing cycles
        will be placed on different pmds.
        
        The rxqs are sorted by their processing cycles and assigned (in
        sorted order) round robin across pmds.

‘will be used where known to assign rxqs to pmds based on round robin of the sorted rxqs’ ?

        +Rxq to pmds assignment takes place whenever there are configuration changes.
