pktgen: document ability to add same device to several threads

The pktgen.txt documentation still claimed that adding same device to
multiple threads were not supported, but it have been since 2008 via
commit e6fce5b9 ("pktgen: multiqueue etc.").

Document this and describe the naming scheme dev@X, as the procfile name
still need to be unique.

+==============
+Pktgen creates a thread for each CPU with affinity to that CPU.
+Which is controlled through procfile /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_X.

+Example: /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0

+ Running:
+ Stopped: eth4@0
+ Result: OK: add_device=eth4@0

-Most important are the devices assigned to the thread.  Note that a
-device can only belong to one thread.
+The two basic thread commands are:
+ * add_device DEVICE@NAME -- adds a single device
+ * rem_device_all         -- remove all associated devices
 
+When adding a device to a thread, a corrosponding procfile is created
+which is used for configuring this device. Thus, device names need to
+be unique.
+
+To support adding the same device to multiple threads, which is useful
+with multi queue NICs, a the device naming scheme is extended with "@":
+ device@something
+
+The part after "@" can be anything, but it is custom to use the thread
+number.
