Mellanox NICs has a limitation on the number of mbuf segments a multi
segment mbuf can have. The max number depends on the Tx offloads
requested.
The current code not enforce such limitation, which might cause
malformed work requests to be written to the device.
This commit adds verification for the number of mbuf segments posted
to the device. In case of overflow the packet will not be sent.
In addition update the nic documentation with the limitation.
Considering device limitation is 63 data segments in a work request, the
maximum number of segment in mbuf was calculated taking TSO as the worst
case:
max_nb_segs = 63 - (control_segment + ethernet segment +
TSO headers inline + inline segment +
extra inline to align to cacheline)

Extend the LSC event handling to support the device removal as well.
The mlx5 event handling has been made capable of receiving and
signaling several event types at once.
This support includes next:
1. Removal event detection according to the user configuration.
2. Calling to all registered mlx5 removal callbacks.
3. Capabilities extension to include removal interrupt handling.

NFP PMD implement now PF and VF drivers. Although the driver
functionality is the same by now, except for initialization, it
will change with future PF additions.
A new feature is required for describing the firmware upload
capability coming with the NFP PF now, so the PF file will be
updated soon in another patch.
SRIOV is not supported by the PF yet, and it is wrong to include it
as a VF driver feature, so none of the files have such a feature.

This PMD allows for applications to benefit from true hot-plugging

It intercepts and manages Ethernet device removal events issued by
slave PMDs and re-initializes them transparently when brought back.
It also allows defining a contingency to the removal of a device, by
designating a fail-over device that will take on transmitting operations
if the preferred device is removed.
Applications only see a fail-safe instance, without caring for
underlying activity ensuring their continued operations.

Introducing the DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE TX capability flag.
if a PMD advertises DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE capable, multiple threads
can invoke rte_eth_tx_burst() concurrently on the same tx queue without
SW lock. This PMD feature will be useful in the following use cases and
found in the OCTEON family of NPUs.
1) Remove explicit spinlock in some applications where lcores
to TX queues are not mapped 1:1.
example: OVS has such instance
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L299https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L1859
See the the usage of tx_lock spinlock.
2) In the eventdev use case, avoid dedicating a separate TX core for
transmitting and thus enables more scaling as all workers can
send the packets.
