Move malloc inside eal and create a new section in MAINTAINERS file for
Memory Allocation in EAL.
Create a dummy malloc library to avoid breaking applications that have
librte_malloc in their DT_NEEDED entries.
This is the first step towards using malloc to allocate memory directly
from memsegs. Thus, memzones would allocate memory through malloc,
allowing to free memzones.

To unify packet types among all PMDs, bit masks of packet type for
'ol_flags' are replaced by unified packet type.
To avoid breaking ABI compatibility, all the changes would be
enabled by RTE_NEXT_ABI.

No reason to inline large functions. Compiler will decide already
based on optimization level.
Also register array should be const.

By defining macro as a stub it is possible to get rid of #ifdef's
in the actual code. Always evaluate the argument (even in the stub)
so that there are no extra unused variable errors.

Refactor the logic to compute receive offload flags to a simpler
function. And add support for putting RSS flow hash into packet.

The Intel version of VMXNET3 driver does not handle link state properly.
The VMXNET3 API returns 1 if connected and 0 if disconnected.
Also need to return correct value to indicate state change.

Change sending loop to support multi-segment mbufs.
The VMXNET3 api has start-of-packet and end-packet flags, so it
is not hard to send multi-segment mbuf's.
Also, update descriptor in 32 bit value rather than toggling
bitfields which is slower and error prone.
Based on code in earlier driver, and the Linux kernel driver.
Add a compiler barrier to make sure that update of earlier descriptor
are completed prior to update of generation bit on start of packet.

There are several stats here which are never set, and have no way
to be displayed. Assume in future xstats could be used.

Upcoming drivers will need to be able to support other bus types.
This is a transparent change to how struct eth_driver is initialized.
It has not function or ABI layout impact, but makes adding a later
bus type (Xen, Hyper-V, ...) much easier.

Move vmxnet3 PMD to drivers/net directory.
As part of the move, rename the "vmxnet3" subdirectory, containing the
original FreeBSD drivers, from "vmxnet3" to the more standard name
"base", to indicate it contains the base drivers used for the
implementation.
