48  * A port open specification (portspec for brevity) has the following syntax
49  * (square brackets delimit optional parts):
50  *
51  *     subsystem:vpname[mode][options]
52  *
53  *  The "subsystem" is denoted by a prefix, possibly followed by an identifier.
54  *  There can be several kinds of subsystems, each one selected by a unique
55  *  prefix.  Currently defined subsystems are:
56  *
57  *  netmap 		(no id allowed)
58  *  			the standard subsystem
59  *
60  *  vale 		(followed by a possibly empty id)
61  *  			the vpname is connected to a VALE switch identified by
62  *  			the id (an empty id selects the default switch)
63  *
64  *  The "vpname" has the following syntax:
65  *
66  *     identifier			or
67  *     identifier1{identifier2		or
68  *     identifier1}identifier2
69  *
70  *  Identifiers are sequences of alphanumeric characters. The part that begins
71  *  with either '{' or '}', when present, denotes a netmap pipe opened in the
72  *  same memory region as the subsystem:indentifier1 port.
73  *
74  * The "mode" can be one of the following:
75  *
76  *	^		bind all host (sw) ring pairs
77  *	^NN		bind individual host ring pair
78  *	*		bind host and NIC ring pairs
79  *	-NN		bind individual NIC ring pair
80  *	@NN		open the port in the NN memory region
81  *	a suffix starting with / and the following flags,
82  *	in any order:
83  *	x		exclusive access
84  *	z		zero copy monitor (both tx and rx)
85  *	t		monitor tx side (copy monitor)
86  *	r		monitor rx side (copy monitor)
87  *	R		bind only RX ring(s)
88  *	T		bind only TX ring(s)
89  *
90  *  The "options" start at the first '@' character not followed by a number.
91  *  Each option starts with '@' and has the following syntax:
92  *
93  *      option					(flag option)
94  *      option=value				(single key option)
95  *      option:key1=value1,key2=value2,...	(multi-key option)
96  *
97  *  For multi-key options, the keys can be assigned in any order, but they
98  *  cannot be assigned more than once. It is not necessary to assign all the
99  *  option keys: unmentioned keys will receive default values.  Some multi-key
100  *  options define a default key and also accept the single-key syntax, by
101  *  assigning the value to this key.
102  *
103  *  NOTE: Options may be silently ignored if the port is already open by some
104  *  other process.
105  *
106  *  The currently available options are (default keys, when defined, are marked
107  *  with '*'):
108  *
109  *  share (single-key)
110  *  			open the port in the same memory region used by the
111  *  			given port name (the port name must be given in
112  *  			subsystem:vpname form)
113  *
114  *  conf  (multi-key)
115  *  			specify the rings/slots numbers (effective only on
116  *  			ports that are created by the open operation itself,
117  *  			and ignored otherwise).
118  *
119  *			The keys are:
120  *
121  *  		       *rings		number of tx and rx rings
122  *  			tx-rings	number of tx rings
123  *  			rx-rings	number of rx rings
124  *			host-rings	number of tx and rx host rings
125  *  			host-tx-rings	number of host tx rings
126  *  			host-rx-rings	number of host rx rings
127  *  			slots		number of slots in each tx and rx
128  *  					ring
129  *  			tx-slots	number of slots in each tx ring
130  *  			rx-slots	number of slots in each rx ring
131  *
132  *  			(more specific keys override the less specific ones)
133  *			All keys default to zero if not assigned, and the
134  *			corresponding value will be chosen by netmap.
135  *
136  *  extmem (multi-key)
137  *			open the port in the memory region obtained by
138  *			mmap()ing the given file.
139  *
140  *			The keys are:
141  *
142  *		       *file		the file to mmap
143  *			if-num		number of pre-allocated netmap_if's
144  *			if-size		size of each netmap_if
145  *			ring-num	number of pre-allocated netmap_ring's
146  *			ring-size	size of each netmap_ring
147  *			buf-num		number of pre-allocated buffers
148  *			buf-size	size of each buffer
149  *
150  *			file must be assigned. The other keys default to zero,
