[j-nsp] vMX for ESXi

[Phil Bedard]

There isn't a performance optimized version of XRv, it's really only useful for low speed applications like the vRR bersion of Junos.  I do use them extensively for control plane testing and they work as vRRs.  

 Now 6.0 is starting to get there since it is Linux based instead of QNX, has CPU core affinities, etc.  Afaik still no support for Intel DPDK like vMX and the vSR from ALU.
