When OAM is enabled on a virtual, an 'eam' v1 plugin profile is added to the virtual. Due to ht-split performance changes (specifically addition of "plugin_threads" field in BZ439449the eam plugin profile claims to be a CMP-enabled plugin but forces the thread count to 1. This causes the number of MPI devices to be 0, thus no channel is spun up - all connections through the virtual result in "No plugin configuration found" error in /var/log/ltm and the connection is reset. SYMPTOM: Virtuals with OAM enabled do not pass traffic - "No plugin configuration found" errors in /var/log/ltm
Traffic outage on OAM-enabled virtuals
HTTP virtual with OAM enabled

EAM is a CMP plugin and spins up one thread per TMM.
