Without this patch, the number of queues per i40e VF is set to 4
by CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_QUEUE_NUM_PER_VF=4 in config/common_base.
It is a fixed value determined at compile time and can't be changed
at run time.
With this patch, the number of queues per i40e VF can be determined
at run time. For example, if the PCI address of an i40e PF is
aaaa:bb.cc, with the EAL parameter -w aaaa:bb.cc,queue-num-per-vf=8,
the number of queues per VF created from this PF is set to 8.
If there is no "queue-num-per-vf" setting in EAL parameters, it uses
the default value of 4. And if the value after the "queue-num-per-vf"
is invalid, it will also use the default value. The valid values can
be 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16.

This workaround was needed to properly handle device removal with old
Mellanox OFED releases that are not supported by this PMD anymore.
Starting from rdma-core v16 this removal issue shouldn't happen when
setting MLX4_DEVICE_FATAL_CLEANUP environment variable to 1.
Set the aforementioned variable to 1.

This updates mlx4 documentation and DPDK release notes
to reflect the PMD support for rdma-core from linux-rdma.
- PMD is now freed from Mellanox OFED and now only depends on the
public rdma-core package (v15 and above) instead.
(see https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/releases)
This PMD should run under Linux v4.14 and above.
- In case any of the above requirements can't be satisfied,
Mellanox OFED v4.2 and above also provide an updated rdma-core
as well back-ported kernel modules for most Linux distributions
and previous Linux versions.
(see http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26).

Introduce a new iommu-support parameter to Vhost PMD that
passes the RTE_VHOST_USER_IOMMU_SUPPORT flag at vhost
device register time.
Default value is 0, meaning that IOMMU support is disabled
if not specified explicitly.
Example to enable IOMMU support for a given device:

Configuring UAR as IO-mapped makes maximum throughput decline by
noticeable amount. If UAR is configured as write-combining register,
a write memory barrier is needed on ringing a doorbell.
rte_wmb() is mostly effective when the size of a burst is comparatively
small. Revert the register back to write-combining and enforce a write
memory barrier instead, except for vectorized Tx burst routines.
Application can change it by setting MLX5_SHUT_UP_BF under its own
necessity.
