08b563ffb1 mbuf: replace data pointer by an offset
The mbuf structure already contains a pointer to the beginning of the
buffer (m->buf_addr). It is not needed to use 8 bytes again to store
another pointer to the beginning of the data.

Using a 16 bits unsigned integer is enough as we know that a mbuf is
never longer than 64KB. We gain 6 bytes in the structure thanks to
this modification.

* Updated to apply to latest on mainline.
* Disabled vector PMD in config as it relies heavily on the mbuf layout
  This will be re-enabled in a subsequent commit once vPMD has been
  reworked to take account of mbuf changes.

ea672a8b16 mbuf: remove the rte_pktmbuf structure
The rte_pktmbuf structure was initially included in the rte_mbuf
structure. This was needed when there was 2 types of mbuf (ctrl and
packet). As the control mbuf has been removed, we can merge the
rte_pktmbuf into the rte_mbuf structure.

Advantages of doing this:
  - the access to mbuf fields is easier (ex: m->data instead of m->pkt.data)
  - make the structure more consistent: for instance, there was no reason
    to have the ol_flags field in rte_mbuf
  - it will allow a deeper reorganization of the rte_mbuf structure in the
    next commits, allowing to gain several bytes in it

6f41fe75e2 eal: deprecate rte_snprintf
The function rte_snprintf serves no useful purpose. It is the
same as snprintf() for all valid inputs. Deprecate it and
replace all uses in current code.

Leave the tests for the deprecated function in place.

7b79b2718f examples/vhost: restrict log type namespace
RTE_LOGTYPE_CONFIG, RTE_LOGTYPE_DATA and RTE_LOGTYPE_PORT are renamed
by adding VHOST prefix.
It prevents from conflict with new RTE_LOGTYPE_PORT of packet framework.

3031749c2d remove trailing whitespaces
This commit removes trailing whitespace from lines in files. Almost all
files are affected, as the BSD license copyright header had trailing
whitespace on 4 lines in it [hence the number of files reporting 8 lines
changed in the diffstat].

519f32279e config: rename "default" configurations as "native"
The "default" part in configuration filenames is misleading.
Rename this as "native", as this is the RTE_MACHINE that is set in these files.
This should make it clearer for people who build DPDK on a system then run it on
another one.

e5ffdd1457 ethdev: remove rte_pmd_init_all function
Now that we've converted all the pmds in dpdk to use the driver registration
macro, rte_pmd_init_all has become empty.  As theres no reason to keep it around
anymore, just remove it and fix up all the eample callers.

47bd46112b xen: import xenvirt pmd and vhost_xen
This provides a para-virtualization packet switching solution, based on the
Xen hypervisor’s Grant Table, which provides simple and fast packet
switching capability between guest domains and host domain based on
MAC address or VLAN tag.

This solution is comprised of two components; a Poll Mode Driver (PMD)
as the front end in the guest domain and a switching back end in the
host domain.  XenStore is used to exchange configure information
between the PMD front end and switching back end,
including grant reference IDs for shared Virtio RX/TX rings, MAC
address, device state, and so on.

The front end PMD can be found in the Intel DPDK directory lib/
librte_pmd_xenvirt and back end example in examples/vhost_xen.
