Shared memory packet interface (memif) PMD allows for DPDK and any other
client using memif (DPDK, VPP, libmemif) to communicate using shared
memory. The created device transmits packets in a raw format. It can be
used with Ethernet mode, IP mode, or Punt/Inject. At this moment, only
Ethernet mode is supported in DPDK memif implementation. Memif is Linux
only.

Add a new PMD driver for AF_XDP which is a proposed faster version of
AF_PACKET interface in Linux. More info about AF_XDP, please refer to [1]
[2].
This is the vanilla version PMD which just uses a raw buffer registered as
the umem.

As of commit 364e08f2bb, DPDK allows an application to send and
receive raw packets using an AF_PACKET and PACKET_MMAP, when using
Linux Kernel. This complements it by adding a simple guide with the
following information:
- An introduction, where a brief explanation of this driver is given,
pointing out the dependency on PACKET_MMAP;
- Which options are supported at configuration time, while setting up an
interface, and it's inherent limitations;
- What the prerequisites are;
- A command line example of how to set up a DPDK port using the
af_packet driver.
Since there's a dependency in PACKET_MMAP, the guide also points to the
original Kernel documentation, so the reader can get more details.

Introduce the fail-safe poll mode driver initialization and enable its
build infrastructure.
This PMD allows for applications to benefit from true hot-plugging
support without having to implement it.
It intercepts and manages Ethernet device removal events issued by
slave PMDs and re-initializes them transparently when brought back.
It also allows defining a contingency to the removal of a device, by
designating a fail-over device that will take on transmitting operations
if the preferred device is removed.
Applications only see a fail-safe instance, without caring for
underlying activity ensuring their continued operations.

The patch introduces a new PMD. This PMD is implemented as thin wrapper
of librte_vhost. It means librte_vhost is also needed to compile the PMD.
The vhost messages will be handled only when a port is started. So start
a port first, then invoke QEMU.
The PMD has 2 parameters.
- iface: The parameter is used to specify a path to connect to a
virtio-net device.
- queues: The parameter is used to specify the number of the queues
virtio-net device has.
(Default: 1)
Here is an example.
$ ./testpmd -c f -n 4 --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/sock0,queues=1' -- -i
To connect above testpmd, here is qemu command example.
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
<snip>
-chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/sock0 \
-netdev vhost-user,id=net0,chardev=chr0,vhostforce,queues=1 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mq=on

automatically numbered based on section.
Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.
The patch makes the following changes.
* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
to the figure.
* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.
* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
for figure.
* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
have one so that they can be cross-referenced.
* Renamed existing image target to match the image
name for consistency.
* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
:ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
and captions.
* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
references.
