Add raw ethernet local loopback

Hi Doug,

The following patch set from Huy adds ability to disable/enable raw ethernet loopbacks based on actual number of user contexts.

The one or less user space context simply says that no actual consumer of this packets and they don't need to be forwarded to the vport.

After this patch set, the raw ethernet unicast and multicast local loopbacks are disabled by default and packets are forwarded to the next routing level (eswitch, or multihost switch, or out to the wire depending on the configuration).

Available in the "topic/local_lb" topic branch of this git repo:
