The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.
Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.
For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.
This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:
- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done (vector and normal), the old flag was set
when a vlan was recognized, even if vlan stripping was disabled.
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.
For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the behavior was
already correct, so we can reuse the same bit value for
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

Some architectures (ex: Power8) have a cache line size of 128 bytes,
so the drivers should not expect that prefetching the second part of
the mbuf with rte_prefetch0(&m->cacheline1) is valid.
This commit add helpers that can be used by drivers to prefetch the
rx or tx part of the mbuf, whatever the cache line size.

Introduce rte_mempool_populate_default() which allocates
mempool objects in several memzones.
The mempool header is now always allocated in a specific memzone
(not with its objects). Thanks to this modification, we can remove
many specific behavior that was required when hugepages are not
enabled in case we are using rte_mempool_xmem_create().
This change requires to update how kni and mellanox drivers lookup for
mbuf memory. For now, this will only work if there is only one memory
chunk (like today), but we could make use of rte_mempool_mem_iter() to
support more memory chunks.
We can also remove RTE_MEMPOOL_OBJ_NAME that is not required anymore for
the lookup, as memory chunks are referenced by the mempool.
Note that rte_mempool_create() is still broken (it was the case before)
when there is no hugepages support (rte_mempool_create_xmem() has to be
used). This is fixed in next commit.

Now that the mempool objects are chained into a list, we can use it to
browse them. This implies a rework of rte_mempool_obj_iter() API, that
does not need to take as many arguments as before. The previous function
is kept as a private function, and renamed in this commit. It will be
removed in a next commit of the patch series.
The only internal users of this function are the mellanox drivers. The
code is updated accordingly.
Introducing an API compatibility for this function has been considered,
but it is not easy to do without keeping the old code, as the previous
function could also be used to browse elements that were not added in a
mempool. Moreover, the API is already be broken by other patches in this
version.
The library version was already updated in

This commit removes the const qualifier for the mempool in
rte_mempool_walk() callback prototype.
Indeed, most functions that can be done on a mempool require a non-const
mempool pointer, except the dump and the audit. Therefore, the
mempool_walk() is more useful if the mempool pointer is not const.
This is required by next commit where the mellanox drivers use
rte_mempool_walk() to iterate the mempools, then rte_mempool_obj_iter()
to iterate the objects in each mempool.

This patch redesigns the API to set the link speed/s configuration
of an ethernet port. Specifically:
- it allows to define a set of advertised speeds for

- it allows to disable link auto-negociation (single fixed speed).
- default: auto-negociate all supported speeds.
A flag autoneg in struct rte_eth_link indicates if link speed was a

Environment variable MLX5_PMD_ENABLE_PADDING enables HW packet padding
in PCI bus transactions.
When packet size is cache aligned and CRC stripping is enabled, 4 fewer
bytes are written to the PCI bus. Enabling padding makes such packets
aligned again.
In cases where PCI bandwidth is the bottleneck, padding can improve
performance by 10%.
This is disabled by default since this can also decrease performance for
unaligned packet sizes.
