e1ece60956 pci: move resource mapping to the PCI bus
As reported during 20.08 work for Windows, the pci_map_resource API was
built with the assumption that its flags would be passed to mmap().

This introduced a regression when adding the rte_mem_map API as reported
in the workaround commit 9d2b245937 ("pci: keep API compatibility with
mmap values").

This API was only used in the PCI bus code, so move it there.

There is no code change happening during the move.
The only change is in the pci_map_resource description where the
additional flags are now documented as rte_mem_map API flags:
- *      The additional flags for the mapping range.
+ *      The additional rte_mem_map() flags for the mapping range.

7c0d798aab bus/pci: switch to private kernel driver enum

f574ed8116 rawdev: add private data size to queue config inputs
The queue setup and queue defaults query functions take a void * parameter
as configuration data, preventing any compile-time checking of the
parameters and limiting runtime checks. Adding in the length of the
expected structure provides a measure of typechecking, and can also be used
for ABI compatibility in future, since ABI changes involving structs almost
always involve a change in size.

b176cb32b5 doc: announce ethdev API change for Rx split
The DPDK datapath in the transmit direction is very flexible.
The applications can build multi-segment packets and manages
almost all data aspects - the memory pools where segments
are allocated from, the segment lengths, the memory attributes
like external, registered, etc.

In the receiving direction, the datapath is much less flexible,
the applications can only specify the memory pool to configure
the receiving queue and nothing more. The packet being received
can only be pushed to the chain of the mbufs of the same data
buffer size and allocated from the same pool. In order to extend
the receiving datapath buffer description it is proposed to add
the new fields into rte_eth_rxconf structure:

struct rte_eth_rxconf {
    ...
    uint16_t rx_split_num; /* number of segments to split */
    uint16_t *rx_split_len; /* array of segment lengths */
    struct rte_mempool **mp; /* array of segment memory pools */
    ...
};

The non-zero value of rx_split_num field configures the receiving
queue to split ingress packets into multiple segments to the mbufs
allocated from various memory pools according to the specified
lengths. The zero value of rx_split_num field provides the
backward compatibility and queue should be configured in a regular
way (with single/multiple mbufs of the same data buffer length
allocated from the single memory pool).

The new approach would allow splitting the ingress packets into
multiple parts pushed to the memory with different attributes.
For example, the packet headers can be pushed to the embedded data
buffers within mbufs and the application data into the external
buffers attached to mbufs allocated from the different memory
pools. The memory attributes for the split parts may differ
either - for example the application data may be pushed into
the external memory located on the dedicated physical device,
say GPU or NVMe. This would improve the DPDK receiving datapath
flexibility preserving compatibility with existing API.

The proposed extended description of receiving buffers might be
considered by other vendors to be involved into similar features
support, it is the subject for the further discussion.

2a829a1d31 doc: announce change of security session API
The API ``rte_security_session_create`` takes only single mempool
for session and session private data. So the application need to create
mempool for twice the number of sessions needed and will also lead to
wastage of memory as session private data need more memory compared to session.
Hence the API will be modified to take two mempool pointers - one for session
and one for private data. This is very similar to crypto based session
create APIs.

bd84d92eb0 doc: announce removal of interactive setup script
Environment configuration is the responsibility of distributions
or upper-level frameworks.
DPDK focus on documenting the requirements and some recommendations.
If some specific parts are complex, they can deserve some scripts.

Maintaining a good adaptative deployment setup is a project by itself.
Anyway this script was interactive, useful only for experimenters.

41e94ba227 doc: announce deprecation of port mirroring API
A new API is planned to be introduced for sampling and mirroring
with rte_flow. It should be more generic and allow more use cases.

This deprecation is to show the direction, avoiding overlapping APIs.

The functions for L2 tunnel were missed when marking the legacy
filtering API as deprecated. That's why a separate notice is done
to make clear that it will be removed as well in DPDK 20.11.

7efbaa7b4e doc: announce ethdev port freeing on close operation
Since DPDK 18.11, some drivers are migrating to a new behaviour,
releasing port resources on close.
The temporary flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE triggers this new mode
in the migrated drivers.
After 2 years, the flag and the old behaviour will be removed.
Last drivers not migrated will have to complete the switch.
