This patch set removes the non-deterministic latency, lower QoS and potential 
queue starvation that is caused by this code ...

-                       if (grp > ODP_SCHED_GROUP_ALL &&
-                           !odp_thrmask_isset(&sched->sched_grp[grp].mask,
-                                              sched_local.thr)) {
-                               /* This thread is not eligible for work from
-                                * this queue, so continue scheduling it.
-                                */
-                               ring_enq(ring, PRIO_QUEUE_MASK, qi);
-
-                               i++;
-                               id++;
-                               continue;
-                       }


... which sends queues of "wrong" group back to the end of the priority queue. 
If e.g. tens of threads are sending it back and only one thread would accept 
it, it's actually very likely that queue service level is much lower than it 
should be.

Improved latency can be seen already with the new l2fwd -g option.

> Use separate priority queues for different groups. Sharing

> Lowered the maximum number of groups from 256 to 32 (in the default
