Concurrent use of various control path functions (e.g. configuring a queue
and destroying it simultaneously) may lead to undefined behavior.
PMD are not supposed to protect themselves from misbehaving applications,
and mlx4 is one of the few with internal locks on most control path
operations. This adds unnecessary complexity.
Leave this role to wrapper functions in ethdev.

Existing RSS features rely on experimental Verbs provided by Mellanox OFED.
In order to replace this dependency with standard distribution packages,
RSS support must be temporarily removed to be re-implemented using a
different API.
Removing support for the RSS flow rule action is the first step toward this
goal.

Configuring several Rx queues enables RSS, which causes an additional
special parent queue to be created to manage them.
MAC flows are associated with the queue supposed to receive packets; either
the parent one in case of RSS or the single orphan otherwise.
For historical reasons the current implementation supports another scenario
with multiple orphans, in which case MAC flows are configured on all of
them. This is harmless but useless since it cannot happen.
Removing this feature allows dissociating the remaining MAC flow from Rx
queues and store it inside the private structure where it belongs.

Current mlx4 OFED version has bug which returns error to
ibv destroy functions when the device was plugged out, in
spite of the resources were destroyed correctly.
Hence, failsafe PMD was aborted, only in debug mode, when
it tries to remove the device in plug-out process.
The workaround added option to replace all claim_zero
assertions with debugging messages, by the way, this option
affects non ibv destroy assertions.

include the verbs fix to this bug, then, this patch can

This commit adds support for the flow API RSS action with the following
limitations:
- Only supported when isolated mode is enabled.
- The number of queues specified by the action (rte_flow_action_rss.num)
must be a power of two.
- Each queue index can be specified at most once in the configuration
(rte_flow_action_rss.queue[]).
- Because a queue can be associated with a single RSS context, it cannot
be targeted by multiple RSS actions simultaneously.

A special "parent" queue must be allocated in addition to a group of
standard Rx queues for RSS to work. This is done automatically outside of
isolated mode by the PMD when applications request several Rx queues.
Since each configured flow rule with the RSS action may target a different
set of queues, the PMD must have the ability to dynamically allocate
several parent queues, one per RSS group.
If isolated mode was requested the default RSS parent queue isn't created
in this case.
Refactor RSS parent queue allocations (currently limited to a single
parent) in preparation for flow API RSS action support.

Several Ethernet device structures are allocated on top of a common PCI
device for mlx4 adapters with multiple ports. These inherit a common
interrupt handle from their parent PCI device, which prevents Rx interrupts
from working properly on all ports as their configuration is overwritten.
Use a local interrupt handle to address this issue.

This parameter is used as follows:
Selecting only the second port:
-w 00:00.0,port=1
Selecting both ports:
-w 00:00.0,port=0,port=1
