The VDEV code will move to the bus drivers directory.
Rename functions from rte_eal_vdev_ to rte_vdev_
to prepare the move of the driver out of EAL.
The prefix rte_eal_vdrv_ is also renamed to rte_vdev_.
It was used for registration of vdev drivers.

Extended xstats API in ethdev library to allow grouping of stats
logically so they can be retrieved per logical grouping managed
by the application.
Added new functions rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id and
rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id using additional arguments (in compare
to rte_eth_xstats_get_names and rte_eth_xstats_get) - array of ids
and array of values.
doc: add description for modified xstats API
Documentation change for new extended statistics API functions.
The old API only allows retrieval of *all* of the NIC statistics
at once. Given this requires a MMIO read PCI transaction per statistic
it is an inefficient way of retrieving just a few key statistics.
Often a monitoring agent only has an interest in a few key statistics,
and the old API forces wasting CPU time and PCIe bandwidth in retrieving
*all* statistics; even those that the application didn't explicitly
show an interest in.
The new, more flexible API allow retrieval of statistics per ID.
If a PMD wishes, it can be implemented to read just the required
NIC registers. As a result, the monitoring application no longer wastes
PCIe bandwidth and CPU time.

The l2fwd-keepalive example has infinite processing loops and as a
result the only way to exit it is via SIGINT/SIGTERM (e.g. Control-C).
The resulting shutdown is unclean, which is fixed by adding a signal
handler that causes the processing loops to break.

This new API allows reacting to a device removal.
A device removal is the sudden disappearance of a device from its
bus.
PMDs implementing support for this notification guarantee that the removal
of the underlying device does not incur a risk to the application.
In particular, Rx/Tx bursts and all other functions can still be called
(albeit likely returning errors) without triggering a crash, irrespective
of an application handling this event.

Extended xstats API in ethdev library to allow grouping of stats

Changed existing functions rte_eth_xstats_get_names and
rte_eth_xstats_get to use a new list of arguments: array of ids
and array of values. ABI versioning mechanism was used to
support backward compatibility.
Introduced two new functions rte_eth_xstats_get_all and
rte_eth_xstats_get_names_all which keeps functionality of the
previous ones (respectively rte_eth_xstats_get and
rte_eth_xstats_get_names) but use new API inside.

xstats_get_names() call with modified parameters.
