6b062d56bc mem: fix anonymous mapping on Power9
Removed the use of MAP_HUGETLB for anonymous mapping on ppc64.  The
MAP_HUGETLB had previously been added to workaround issues on IBM Power8
systems when mapping /dev/zero.
In the current code the MAP_HUGETLB flag will cause the anonymous mapping
to fail on Power9.
Note, Power8 is currently failing to correctly mmap Hugepages, with and
without this change.

2f3d633aa5 common/dpaax: add library for PA/VA translation table
A common library, valid for dpaaX drivers, which is used to maintain
a local copy of PA->VA translations.

In case of physical addressing mode (one of the option for FSLMC, and
only option for DPAA bus), the addresses of descriptors Rx'd are
physical. These need to be converted into equivalent VA for rte_mbuf
and other similar calls.

Using the rte_mem_virt2iova or rte_mem_virt2phy is expensive. This
library is an attempt to reduce the overall cost associated with
this translation.

A small table is maintained, containing continuous entries
representing a continguous physical range. Each of these entries
stores the equivalent VA, which is fed during mempool creation, or
memory allocation/deallocation callbacks.

4bec48184e devtools: add checks for ABI symbol addition
Recently, some additional patches were added to allow for programmatic
marking of C symbols as experimental.  The addition of these markers is
dependent on the manual addition of exported symbols to the EXPERIMENTAL
section of the corresponding libraries version map file.  The consensus
on review is that, in addition to mandating the addition of symbols to
the EXPERIMENTAL version in the map, we need a mechanism to enforce our
documented process of mandating that addition when they are introduced.
To that end, I am proposing this change.  It is an addition to the
checkpatches script, which scan incoming patches for additions and
removals of symbols to the map file, and warns the user appropriately.
