af316ecf58 eventdev: limit port link operation to configured queues
On port_setup, the link_map is updated only
for configured number of event queues.
Limit the port_links_get scan only to configured number
of event queues. Also, Limit the port link and unlink queue
validation to configured number of event queues.

2ed019db7c eventdev: remove unneeded dependencies
Since eventdev uses event structures rather than working directly on
mbufs, there is no actual dependencies on the mbuf library. The
inclusion of an mbuf pointer element inside the event itself does not
require the inclusion of the mbuf header file. Similarly the pci
header is not needed, but following their removal, rte_memory.h is
needed for the definition of the __rte_cache_aligned macro.

d3e281a540 eventdev: update event port link and unlink callbacks
Added a pointer to the rte_eventdev type in the event port
link and unlink callbacks. This device shall be used by some
of the event drivers to fetch queue related information.

Also, update the skeleton eventdev driver with corresponding changes.

71f2384328 eventdev: introduce event driven programming model
In a polling model, lcores poll ethdev ports and associated
rx queues directly to look for packet. In an event driven model,
by contrast, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for
them based on programmer-specified criteria. Eventdev library
adds support for event driven programming model, which offer
applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing,
pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and
synchronization services to simplify application packet processing.

By introducing event driven programming model, DPDK can support
both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing,
and applications are free to choose whatever model
(or combination of the two) that best suits their needs.

This patch adds the eventdev specification header file.
