fc40db9973 net/mlx: control netdevices through ioctl only
Several control operations implemented by these PMDs affect netdevices
through sysfs, itself subject to file system permission checks enforced by
the kernel, which limits their use for most purposes to applications
running with root privileges.

Since performing the same operations through ioctl() requires fewer
capabilities (only CAP_NET_ADMIN) and given the remaining operations are
already implemented this way, this patch standardizes on ioctl() and gets
rid of redundant code.

e313ef4c2f net/mlx5: fix link state on device start
Following commit c7bf62255e ("net/mlx5: fix handling link status event")
the link state must be up in order for the burst function to be set on
the device ops.

As the link may take time to move between down and up state it is
possible the rte_eth_dev_start call will return with wrong burst
function (either null or the empty burst function).

Fixing it by forcing the link to be up before returning from device
start. In case the link is still not up after 5 seconds fail the function.
In addition initialize the burst function on device probe to prevent
crashes before the link is up.

ffc905f3b8 ethdev: separate driver APIs
Create a rte_ethdev_driver.h file and move PMD specific APIs here.
Drivers updated to include this new header file.

There is no update in header content and since ethdev.h included by
ethdev_driver.h, nothing changed from driver point of view, only
logically grouping of APIs. From applications point of view they can't
access to driver specific APIs anymore and they shouldn't.

More PMD specific data structures still remain in ethdev.h because of
inline functions in header use them. Those will be handled separately.

c7bf62255e net/mlx5: fix handling link status event
Even though link of a port gets down, device still can receive traffic.
That is the reason why mlx5_set_link_up/down() switches rx/tx_pkt_burst().
However, if link gets down by an external command (e.g. ifconfig), it isn't
effective. It is better to change burst functions when link status change
is detected.

cebe3d7b3d ethdev: remove useless parameter in callback process
The pointer to the user parameter of the callback registration is
automatically pass to the callback function.
There is no point to allow changing this user parameter by a caller.
That's why this parameter is always set to NULL by PMDs and set only
in ethdev layer before calling the callback function.

The history is that the user parameter was initially used
by the callback implementation to pass some information
between the application and the driver:
	c1ceaf3ad0 ("ethdev: add an argument to internal callback function")
Then a new parameter has been added to leave the user parameter
to its standard usage of context given at registration:
	d6af1a13d7 ("ethdev: add return values to callback process API")

The NULL parameter in the internal callback processing function
is now removed. It makes clear that the callback parameter is user
managed and opaque from a DPDK point of view.

  2. Mellanox OFED is Mellanox's Linux user-space package.(Proprietary)
The difference between the two are the APIs towards the kernel.

Support for x86-32 is removed due to issues in rdma-core library.

c26ae06937 net/mlx5: link status update separation
Link status is sometimes inconsistent during a LSC event.
When it occurs, the PMD refrains from immediately notifying
the application; instead, an alarm is scheduled to check
link status later and notify the application once it has settled.

In the previous code the alarm callback calls to the interrupt
handler for link status recheck and may cause to unnecessary
interrupt events check.

This patch separates the link status update and the interrupt event
handler to avoid the unnecessary check and arranges the interrupt
handler for more interrupt supports in the future.

Comment was added in the new function to explain the inconsistent
link status reason.

463ced957c pci: increase domain storage to 32 bits
In some environments, the PCI domain can be larger than 16 bits.
For example, a PCI device passed through in Azure gets a synthetic domain
id  which is internally generated based on GUID. The PCI standard does
not restrict domain to be 16 bits.

This change breaks ABI for API's that expose PCI address structure.

The printf format for PCI remains unchanged, so that on most
systems (with only 16 bit domain) the output format is unchanged
and is 4 characters wide.  For example: 0000:00:01.0
Only on sysetms with higher bits will the domain take up more
space; example: 12000:00:01.0

edad38fcd0 net/mlx: enhance Rx scatter mode detection
Toggle Rx scatter mode based on the scatter_enable flag and the maximum
packet size only instead of deriving this information from the jumbo_frame
setting and the MTU configuration.

6ce84bd889 net/mlx5: add enhanced multi-packet send for ConnectX-5
ConnectX-5 supports enhanced version of multi-packet send (MPS). An MPS Tx
descriptor can carry multiple packets either by including pointers of
packets or by inlining packets. Inlining packet data can be helpful to
better utilize PCIe bandwidth. In addition, Enhanced MPS supports hybrid
mode - mixing inlined packets and pointers in a descriptor. This feature is
enabled by default if supported by HW.

f5fde52051 net/mlx5: add hardware checksum offload for tunnel packets
Prior to this commit Tx checksum offload was supported only for the
inner headers.
This commit adds support for the hardware to compute the checksum for the
outer headers as well.

The support is for tunneling protocols GRE and VXLAN.
