91ee0051a1 doc: announce header split deprecation
RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_HEADER_SPLIT offload was introduced some time ago to
substitute bit-field header_split in struct rte_eth_rxmode. It allows
to enable per-port header split offload with the header size controlled
using split_hdr_size in the same structure.

Right now, no single PMD actually supports RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_HEADER_SPLIT
with above definition. Many examples and test apps initialize the field
to 0 explicitly. The most of drivers simply ignore split_hdr_size since
the offload is not advertised, but some double-check that its value is 0.

So the RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_HEADER_SPLIT and split_header_size field
will be removed in DPDK 22.11. After DPDK 22.11 LTS, the
RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT can still be used for per-queue Rx
packet split offload, which is configured by rte_eth_rxseg_split.

decb35d890 doc: rework section on virtio-user as exception path
This patch extensively reworks the howto guide on using virtio-user for
exception packets. Changes include:

* rename "exceptional path" to "exception path"
* remove references to uio and just reference vfio-pci
* simplify testpmd command-lines, giving a basic usage example first
  before adding on detail about checksum or TSO parameters
* give a complete working example showing traffic flowing through the
  whole system from a testpmd loopback using the created TAP netdev
* replace use of "ifconfig" with Linux standard "ip" command
* other general rewording.

5ddb903824 net/mlx5: reject negative integrity item configuration
Negative integrity item refers to condition when the item value mask
is set, but value spec is cleared:
    ... integrity value mask l4_ok value spec 0 ...

ethdev library defines integrity bits `l3_ok` and `l4_ok` as accumulators
for all hardware L3 and L4 integrity verifications respectfully.
Hardware `l3_ok` and `l4_ok` integrity bits refer to L3 and L4
network headers only.
Integrity bits `l3_ok` and `l4_ok` are not compatible between
ethdev library and hardware.

PMD translations for ethdev `l3_ok` are:
 IPv4: `l3_ok` and `l3_csum_ok`
 IPv6: `l3_ok`
ethdev `l4_ok` is translated into PMD `l4_ok` and `l4_csum_ok` bits.

Positive IPv4 `l3_ok` flow item configuration is translated into
a single matcher that AND corresponding hardware bits.
Negative IPv4 `l3_ok` is translated into 2 hardware conditions where
each condition probes a single integrity bit:
  ethdev::l3_ok is 0 => MLX5::l3_ok is 0 OR MLX5:l3_csum_ok is 0
MLX5 hardware does not do OR condition in flow rule item.
Negative IPv4 `l3_ok` must be translated into 2 flow rules.
Similarly negative ethdev `l4_ok` condition is also translated into 2
hardware rules.

Current PMD roadmap does not allow implicit flow rule split.

740a28366c net/mlx5: add test for external Rx queue
Add mlx5 internal test for map and unmap external RxQs.
This patch adds to testpmd app a runtime function to test the mapping
API.

  testpmd> mlx5 port (port_id) ext_rxq map (sw_queue_id) (hw_queue_id)
  testpmd> mlx5 port (port_id) ext_rxq unmap (sw_queue_id)

85d9252e55 net/mlx5: add test for remote PD and CTX
Add mlx5 internal option in testpmd similar to run-time function
"port attach" which adds another parameter named "socket" for attaching
port and add 2 devargs before.

The arguments are "cmd_fd" and "pd_handle" using to import device
created out of PMD. Testpmd application import it using IPC, and updates
the devargs list before attaching.

These arguments were added in
the commit 9d936f4f1a5e ("common/mlx5: support remote PD and CTX")

The syntax is:

  testpmd> mlx5 port attach (identifier) socket=(path)

Where "path" is the IPC socket path agreed on the remote process.

5f4f26d315 doc: update vhost application guide
Vhost sample app documentation describes parameters that are not in the
code and omits parameters that exist.
Also switching the order of sections on running vhost and VM,
since the --client parameter in the sample line
requires a socket to be created by VM.
Removing uio references and updating with vfio-pci.
