 * '<em>netmap</em>' is a framework for very fast packet I/O from userspace.
 * '<em>VALE</em>' is an equally fast in-kernel software switch using the
 * netmap API. '<em>netmap</em>' includes '<em>netmap pipes</em>', a shared
 * memory packet transport channel. Together, they provide a high speed
 * user-space interface that allows VPP to patch into a linux namespace, a
 * linux container, or a physical NIC without the use of DPDK. Netmap/VALE
 * generates the '<em>netmap.ko</em>' kernel module that needs to be loaded
 * before netmap interfaces can be created.
 * - https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap - Netmap/VALE repo.
 * - https://github.com/vpp-dev/netmap - VPP development package for Netmap/VALE,
 * which is a snapshot of the Netmap/VALE repo with minor changes to work
 * with containers and modified kernel drivers to work with NICs.
 *
 * Create a netmap interface that will attach to a linux interface.
 * The interface must already exist. Once created, a new netmap interface
 * will exist in VPP with the name '<em>netmap-<ifname></em>', where
 * '<em><ifname></em>' takes one of two forms:
 * - <b>ifname</b> - Linux interface to bind too.
 * - <b>valeXXX:YYY</b> -
 *   - Where '<em>valeXXX</em>' is an arbitrary name for a VALE
 *     interface that must start with '<em>vale</em>' and is less
 *     than 16 characters.
 *   - Where '<em>YYY</em>' is an existing linux namespace.
 *
 * This command has the following optional parameters:
 *
 * - <b>hw-addr <mac-addr></b> - Optional ethernet address, can be in either
 * X:X:X:X:X:X unix or X.X.X cisco format.
 *
 * - <b>pipe</b> - Optional flag to indicate that a '<em>netmap pipe</em>'
 * instance should be created.
 *
 * - <b>master | slave</b> - Optional flag to indicate whether VPP should
 * be the master or slave of the '<em>netmap pipe</em>'. Only considered
 * if '<em>pipe</em>' is entered. Defaults to '<em>slave</em>' if not entered.
 *
 * @cliexpar
 * Example of how to create a netmap interface tied to the linux
 * namespace '<em>vpp1</em>':
 * @cliexstart{create netmap name vale00:vpp1 hw-addr 02:FE:3F:34:15:9B pipe master}
 * netmap-vale00:vpp1
 * @cliexend
 * Once the netmap interface is created, enable the interface using:
 * @cliexcmd{set interface state netmap-vale00:vpp1 up}
