This patch enables the unaligned chunks feature for AF_XDP which allows
chunks to be placed at arbitrary places in the umem, as opposed to them
being required to be aligned to 2k. This allows for DPDK application
mempools to be mapped directly into the umem and in turn enable zero copy
transfer between umem and the PMD.
This patch replaces the zero copy via external mbuf mechanism introduced
in commit e9ff8bb71943 ("net/af_xdp: enable zero copy by external mbuf").
The pmd_zero copy vdev argument is also removed as now the PMD will
auto-detect presence of the unaligned chunks feature and enable it if so
and otherwise fall back to copy mode if not detected.

queue= parameter does not exist.
It might have been the previous name of the queue_count parameter, but
anyway, the default value 1 for the number of queues works fine.

This patch enables need_wakeup flag for Tx and fill rings, when this
flag is set by the driver, it means that the userspace application has
to explicitly wake up the kernel Rx or kernel Tx processing by issuing
a syscall. Poll() can wake up both and sendto() or its alternatives
will wake up Tx processing only.
This feature is to provide efficient support for case that application
and driver executing on the same core.

This patch adds two parameters `start_queue` and `queue_count` to
specify the range of netdev queues used by AF_XDP pmd.

Implement zero copy of af_xdp pmd through mbuf's external memory
mechanism to achieve high performance.
This patch also provides a new parameter "pmd_zero_copy" for user, so they
can choose to enable zero copy of af_xdp pmd or not.
To be clear, "zero copy" here is different from the "zero copy mode" of
AF_XDP, it is about zero copy between af_xdp umem and mbuf used in dpdk
application.

Add a new PMD driver for AF_XDP which is a proposed faster version of
AF_PACKET interface in Linux. More info about AF_XDP, please refer to [1]
[2].
This is the vanilla version PMD which just uses a raw buffer registered as
the umem.
