Add multi-fd support to fdbased endpoint.

This allows an fdbased endpoint to have multiple underlying fd's from which
packets can be read and dispatched/written to.

This should allow for higher throughput as well as better scalability of the
network stack as number of connections increases.

Updates #231

 // FD based endpoints can be used in the networking stack by calling New() to
 // create a new endpoint, and then passing it as an argument to
 // Stack.CreateNIC().
+//
+// FD based endpoints can use more than one file descriptor to read incoming
+// packets. If there are more than one FDs specified and the underlying FD is an
+// AF_PACKET then the endpoint will enable FANOUT mode on the socket so that the
+// host kernel will consistently hash the packets to the sockets. This ensures
+// that packets for the same TCP streams are not reordered.
+//
+// Similarly if more than one FD's are specified where the underlying FD is not
+// AF_PACKET then it's the caller's responsibility to ensure that all inbound
+// packets on the descriptors are consistently 5 tuple hashed to one of the
+// descriptors to prevent TCP reordering.
+//
+// Since netstack today does not compute 5 tuple hashes for outgoing packets we
+// only use the first FD to write outbound packets. Once 5 tuple hashes for
+// all outbound packets are available we will make use of all underlying FD's to
+// write outbound packets.
