The CQ polling is necessary in order to manage guest notifications when
the guest doesn't work with poll mode (callfd != -1).
The CQ polling scheduling method can affect the host CPU utilization and
the traffic bandwidth.
Define 3 modes to control the CQ polling scheduling:
1. A timer thread which automatically adjusts its delays to the coming
traffic rate.
2. A timer thread with fixed delay time.
3. Interrupts: Each CQE burst arms the CQ in order to get an interrupt
event in the next traffic burst.
When traffic becomes off, mode 3 is taken automatically.
The interrupt management takes a lot of CPU cycles but forward traffic
event to the guest very fast.
Timer thread save the interrupt overhead but may add delay for the guest
notification.
Add device arguments to control on the mode.

The guest virtio device may request MTU updating when the vhost backend
device exposes a capability to support it.
Expose the MTU feature capability.
At configuration time, check the requested MTU and update it in the HW
device.

Add support for statistics operations.
A DevX counter object is allocated per virtq in order to
manage the virtq statistics.
The counter object is allocated before the virtq creation
and destroyed after it, so the statistics are valid only in
the life time of the virtq.

The vDPA device offloads all the datapath of the vhost
device to the HW device.
In order to expose to the user traffic information this
patch introduces new 3 APIs to get traffic statistics, the
device statistics name and to reset the statistics per
virtio queue.
The statistics are taken directly from the vDPA driver
managing the HW device and can be different for each vendor
driver.

The devices of the family ConnectX may have two letters as suffix.
Such suffix is preceded with a space and the second x is lowercase:
- ConnectX-4 Lx
- ConnectX-5 Ex
- ConnectX-6 Dx
Uppercase of the device family name BlueField is also fixed.
The lists of supported devices are fixed.

Add a new driver to support vDPA operations by Mellanox devices.
The first Mellanox devices which support vDPA operations are
ConnectX-6 Dx and Bluefield1 HCA for their PF ports and VF ports.
This driver is depending on rdma-core like the mlx5 PMD, also it is
going to use mlx5 DevX to create HW objects directly by the FW.
Hence, the common/mlx5 library is linked to the mlx5_vdpa driver.
This driver will not be compiled by default due to the above
dependencies.
Register a new log type for this driver.
