What is an Solarflare Onload stack and how is it related to their Virtual Interface

I am trying to understand what is an openonload stack and what are the benefits of using them. For example why would I split 8 multicast lines into 2 stacks (4 lines each) compared to 1 stack (8 lines for 1 stack). Will it help with RX drops?

I am also confused how this is relevant to their Virtual Interfaces (vNics) - do they get created automatically when we make a new onload stack?

I was trying to get it from their user guide http://www.smallake.kr/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SF-104474-CD-20_Onload_User_Guide.pdf but they don't really describe it there in full detail.

Thanks!
