Patch: optimizations and improvements for Endace DAG cards.

[Koryn Grant <koryn () endace com>]

Hi all,

This patch contains a number of improvements for libpcap's support for
Endace DAG cards:

* Much improved performance.  Previously the read operation would only ever
retrieve and process 1 packet, even if asked for a bufferful, which added a
large amount of overhead.
* Support for nonblocking operation.
* Miscellaneous bug/portability fixes.

Cheers,
Koryn
