It's hard to benchmark 40G+ network bandwidth using ordinary
tools like iperf, netperf. I then tried with pktgen multiqueue sample
scripts, but still cannot reach line rate.
I then derived this NUMA awared irq affinity sample script from
multi-queue sample one, successfully benchmarked 40G link. I think this can
also be useful for 100G reference, though I haven't got device to test.

This script simply does:
Detect $DEV's NUMA node belonging.
Bind each thread (processor from that NUMA node) with each $DEV queue's
irq affinity, 1:1 mapping.
How many '-t' threads input determines how many queues will be
utilized.

Tested with Intel XL710 NIC with Cisco 3172 switch.

It would be even slightly better if the irqbalance service is turned
off outside.
