BIRD multithreaded progress

[Maria Matejka]

Hello!

If you are brave, you can try out the alderney branch. I suppose there 
are still lots of bugs and inefficiencies, yet pipes, table maintenance 
and rpki loading is multithreaded there.

That branch is still in internal testing and I do not recommend using 
that branch in production at all. It has been quite a huge load of work, 
including major rewrites of route propagation machinery.

Feel free to test the "alderney" branch and report any bugs. If you 
manage to measure the time and memory consumption difference, you're 
welcome to share that.

Thank you for asking, I hope we push this to a release as soon as possible.

Maria
