When using Direct Rules we can add actions to jump between tables.
This is extra useful since rule insertion rate is much higher on other
tables compared to table zero.
If no group is selected the rule is added to group 0.

This is the first patch of a series that is designed to enable the
Direct Rules API.
The main difference between Direct Verbs and Direct Rules from API
perspective is that in Direct Rules each action has it's own create
function and the object itself is of type void.
In this patch I'm adding functions to generate actions that currently
are done without create action, and I'm changing the action type to be
void *, so in next patches only the glue functions will need to change.

The Memory Region (MR) for DMA memory can't be created from secondary

A new PMD parameter (mr_ext_memseg_en) is added to control extension of
memseg when creating a MR. It is enabled by default.
If enabled, mlx4_mr_create() tries to maximize the range of MR
registration so that the LKey lookup tables on datapath become smalle
and get the best performance. However, it may worsen memory utilization
because registered memory is pinned by kernel driver. Even if a page in
the extended chunk is freed, that doesn't become reusable until the
entire memory is freed and the MR is destroyed.
To make freed pages available immediately, this parameter has to be
turned off but it could drop performance.

In order to support secondary process, a few features are required.
a) rdma-core library should allocate device resources using DPDK's
memory allocator.
b) UAR should be remapped for secondary processes. Currently, in order
not to use different data structure for secondary processes, PMD
tries to reserve identical virtual address space for both primary
and secondary processes.
c) IPC channel is necessary, which can be easily set with rte_mp APIs.
Through the channel, Verbs command FD is delivered to the secondary
process and the device stop/start event is also broadcast from
primary process.

There's more need to have PMD global data structure. This should be
initialized once per a process regardless of how many PMD instances are
probed. mlx5_init_once() is called during probing and make sure all the
init functions are called once per a process. Currently, such global
data and its initialization functions are even scattered. Rather than
'extern'-ing such variables and calling such functions one by one making
sure it is called only once by checking the validity of such variables, it
will be better to have a global storage to hold such data and a
consolidated function having all the initializations. The existing shared
memory gets more extensively used for this purpose. As there could be
multiple secondary processes, a static storage (local to process) is also
added.
As the reserved virtual address for UAR remap is a PMD global resource,
this doesn't need to be stored in the device priv structure, but in the
PMD global data.

When replenishing mbufs on Rx, buffer address (mbuf->buf_addr) should be
loaded. non-x86 processors (mostly RISC such as ARM and Power) are more
vulnerable to load stall. For x86, reducing the number of instructions
seems to matter most.
For x86, this is simply a load but for other architectures, it is
calculated from the address of mbuf structure by rte_mbuf_buf_addr()
without having to load the first cacheline of the mbuf.
