[Click] multiple threads in click

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi Omer,

Click is generally a single-threaded event-driven system, although it does 
support a multi-threaded version when in the kernel.  So it processes 2 
packets that "simultaneously" arrive in series.  To process multiple packets 
in a single element is definitely possible.  The best way to model this is via 
packet storage: the element stores the first packet until it sees the second.
