In heterogeneous computing system, processing is not only in the CPU.
Some tasks can be delegated to devices working in parallel.
The new library gpudev is for dealing with GPGPU computing devices
from a DPDK application running on the CPU.
The infrastructure is prepared to welcome drivers in drivers/gpu/.

This patch adds a PMD for the Intel Quick Assist Technology DH895xxC
hardware accelerator.
This patch depends on a QAT PF driver for device initialization. See
the file docs/guides/cryptodevs/qat.rst for configuration details
This patch supports a limited subset of QAT device functionality,
currently supporting chaining of cipher and hash operations for the
following algorithmsd:
Cipher algorithms:
- RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC (with 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys supported)
Hash algorithms:
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_XCBC_MAC
Some limitation on this patchset which shall be contributed in a
subsequent release:
- Chained mbufs are not supported.
- Hash only is not supported.
- Cipher only is not supported.
- Only in-place is currently supported (destination address is
the same as source address).
- Only supports session-oriented API implementation (session-less
APIs are not supported).
