-Since Netmap applications use regular system calls, like open(), ioctl() and
-mmap() to communicate with the Netmap kernel module performing the packet I/O,
-the compat_netmap library provides a set of similar APIs to use in place of those system calls,
-effectively turning a Netmap application into a DPDK one.
