Would be good to add also a code which disable the dv_flow_en
the user requested. However such support will need to use new netlink
command to query the switchdev mode from the underlying kernel.
Considering the current 18.11 release is close to RC3, only a
documentation is added.

Previously, there is instability during vector Rx if descriptor
number is not power of 2, e.g. process hang and some Rx packets
are unexpectedly empty. That's because vector Rx mode assumes Rx
descriptor number is power of 2 when doing bit mask.
This patch allows vector mode only when the number of Rx descriptor
is power of 2.

Applications which add RSS rules must supply an RSS key and length.
If an application is only interested in default RSS operation it
should not care about the exact RSS key.
By setting the key to NULL - the PMD will use the default RSS key.
In addition if the application does not care about the RSS type it can
set it to 0 and the PMD will use the default type (ETH_RSS_IP).

A PMD parameter (rxq_cqe_pad_en) is added to enable 128B padding of CQE on
RX side. The size of CQE is aligned with the size of a cacheline of the
core. If cacheline size is 128B, the CQE size is configured to be 128B even
though the device writes only 64B data on the cacheline. This is to avoid
unnecessary cache invalidation by device's two consecutive writes on to one
cacheline. However in some architecture, it is more beneficial to update
entire cacheline with padding the rest 64B rather than striding because
read-modify-write could drop performance a lot. On the other hand, writing
extra data will consume more PCIe bandwidth and could also drop the maximum
throughput. It is recommended to empirically set this parameter. Disabled
by default.

Add the vectorized version of the no-scatter Rx handler. It aims to
process 8 descriptors per loop using AVX2 SIMD instructions. This
handler is in its own file enic_rxtx_vec_avx2.c, and makefile and
meson.build are modified to compile it when the compiler supports
AVX2. Under ideal conditions, the vectorized handler reduces
cycles/packet by more than 30%, when compared against the no-scatter
Rx handler. Most implementation ideas come from i40e's AVX2 based
handler, so credit goes to its authors.
At this point, the new handler is meant for field trials, and is not
selected by default. So add a new devarg enable-avx2-rx to allow the
user to request the use of the new handler. When enable-avx2-rx=1, the
driver will consider using the new handler.
Also update the guide doc and introduce the vectorized handler.
