NAPI instance gets scheduled on a CPU core on which
the IRQ was triggered. The processing of rx packets
can be CPU intensive and since NAPI cannot be moved
to a different CPU core, to get better performance,
its better to move the gist of rx packet processing
in a high priority thread.
Add the init/deinit part for a thread to process the
receive packets.
