In its current state, this driver implements the bare minimum to initialize
itself and Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapters without doing anything else
(no RX/TX for instance). It is disabled by default since it is based on the
mlx4 driver and also depends on libibverbs.

Move malloc inside eal and create a new section in MAINTAINERS file for
Memory Allocation in EAL.
Create a dummy malloc library to avoid breaking applications that have
librte_malloc in their DT_NEEDED entries.
This is the first step towards using malloc to allocate memory directly
from memsegs. Thus, memzones would allocate memory through malloc,
allowing to free memzones.

There was a request for an abi validation utilty for the ongoing ABI stability
work. As it turns out there is a abi compliance checker in development that
seems to be under active development and provides fairly detailed ABI compliance
reports. Its not yet intellegent enough to understand symbol versioning, but it
does provide the ability to identify symbols which have changed between
releases, along with details of the change, and offers developers the
opportunity to identify which symbols then need versioning and validation for a
given update via manual testing.
This script automates the use of the compliance checker between two arbitrarily
specified tags within the dpdk tree. To execute enter the $RTE_SDK directory
and run:
./scripts/validate_abi.sh $GIT_TAG1 $GIT_TAG2 $CONFIG
where $GIT_TAG1 and 2 are git tags and $CONFIG is a config specification
suitable for passing as the T= variable in the make config command.
Note the upstream source for the abi compliance checker is here:
http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker
It generates a report for each DSO built from the requested tags that developers
can review to find ABI compliance issues.

Null PMD is a driver of the virtual device particularly designed to measure
performance of DPDK PMDs. When an application call rx, Null PMD just allocates
mbufs and returns those. Also tx, the PMD just frees mbufs.
The PMD has following options.
- size: specify packe size allocated by RX. Default packet size is 64.
- copy: specify 1 or 0 to enable or disable copy while RX and TX.
Default value is 0(disabled).
This option is used for emulating more realistic data transfer.
Copy size is equal to packet size.
To use the PMD, enable CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB in config file. Then
compile the PMD as shared library. The library can be linked using '-d'
option when an application invokes.
Here is an example.
$ sudo ./testpmd -c f -n 4 -d librte_pmd_null.so \
--vdev 'eth_null0' --vdev 'eth_null1' -- -i --no-flush-rx
If testpmd is compiled with CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB, it may need to
specify more libraries using '-d' option.

(libibverbs) and the dedicated user-space driver (libmlx4).
