TX coalescing waits for ETH_COALESCE_PKT_NUM packets to be coalesced
across bursts before transmitting them. For slow traffic, such as
100 PPS, this approach increases latency since packets are received
one at a time and tx coalescing has to wait for ETH_COALESCE_PKT
number of packets to arrive before transmitting.
To fix this:
- Update rx path to use status page instead and only receive packets
when either the ingress interrupt timer threshold (5 us) or
the ingress interrupt packet count threshold (32 packets) fires.
(i.e. whichever happens first).
- If number of packets coalesced is <= number of packets sent
by tx burst function, stop coalescing and transmit these packets
immediately.
Also added compile time option to favor throughput over latency by
default.

Fix "MACRO redefined" and "function redefined" compilation errors in FreeBSD
by adding CXGBE prefix to them. Also remove reference to a linux header
linux/if_ether.h and use DPDK macros directly. Finally, enable CXGBE PMD
for FreeBSD.

Adds cxgbe poll mode driver for DPDK under drivers/net/cxgbe directory.
This patch:
1. Adds the Makefile to compile cxgbe pmd.
2. Registers and initializes the cxgbe pmd driver.
Enable cxgbe PMD for compilation and linking with changes to:
1. config/common_linuxapp to add macros for cxgbe pmd.
2. drivers/net/Makefile to add cxgbe pmd to the compile list.
3. mk/rte.app.mk to add cxgbe pmd to link.
Update MAINTAINERS file to claim responsibility for the cxgbe PMD.
