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.

Secondary processes are expected to use queues and other resources
allocated by the primary, however Verbs resources can only be shared
between processes when inherited through fork().
This limitation can be worked around for TX by configuring separate queues
from secondary processes.

ConnectX-4 adapters do not have a constant indirection table size, which is
set at runtime from the number of RX queues. The maximum size is retrieved
using a hardware query and is normally 512.
Since the current RETA API cannot handle a variable size, any query/update
command causes it to be silently updated to RSS_INDIRECTION_TABLE_SIZE
entries regardless of the original size.
Also due to the underlying type of the configuration structure, the maximum
size is limited to RSS_INDIRECTION_TABLE_SIZE (currently 128, at most 256
entries).
A port stop/start must be done to apply the new RETA configuration.

First implementation of rss_hash_update and rss_hash_conf_get, those
functions still lack in functionality but are usable to change the RSS
hash key. For now, the PMD does not handle an indirection table for
each kind of flow (IPv4, IPv6, etc.), the same RSS hash key is used
for all protocols. This situation explains why the rss_hash_conf_get
returns the RSS hash key for all DPDK supported protocols and why the
hash key is set for all of them too.

All hash RX QPs currently use the same flow steering rule (L2 MAC filtering)
regardless of their type (TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6), which prevents them from
being dispatched properly. This is fixed by adding flow information to the

rules for each of them.

The new Verbs RSS API is lower-level than the previous one and much more
flexible but requires RX queues to use Work Queues (WQs) internally instead
of Queue Pairs (QPs), which are grouped in an indirection table used by a
new kind of hash RX QPs.
Hash RX QPs and the indirection table together replace the parent RSS QP
while WQs are mostly similar to child QPs.
RSS hash key is not configurable yet.
Summary of changes:
- Individual DPDK RX queues do not store flow properties anymore, this info
is now part of the hash RX queues.
- All functions affecting the parent queue when RSS is enabled or the basic
queues otherwise are modified to affect hash RX queues instead.
- Hash RX queues are also used when a single DPDK RX queue is configured (no
RSS) to remove that special case.
- Hash RX queues and indirection table are created/destroyed when device
is started/stopped in addition to create/destroy flows.
- Contrary to QPs, WQs are moved to the "ready" state before posting RX
buffers, otherwise they are ignored.
- Resource domain information is added to WQs for better performance.
- CQs are not resized anymore when switching between non-SG and SG modes as
it does not work correctly with WQs. Use the largest possible size
instead, since CQ size does not have to be the same as the number of
elements in the RX queue. This also applies to the maximum number of
outstanding WRs in a WQ (max_recv_wr).

On the TX path, scattered buffers are also handled in a separate function.

remaining segments are linearized in the last SGE entry.
