event/sw: add service capability

This commit shows how easy it is to enable a specific
DPDK component with a service callback, in order to get
CPU cycles for it.

The beauty of this method is that the service is unaware
of how much CPU time it is getting - the application can
decide how to split and slice cores and map them to the
registered services.
