DPDK firmware variant supports equal stride super-buffer Rx mode which
provides higher packet rate and packet marks but requires dedicated
mempool manager with contiguous object block allocation (e.g. bucket).
Also the firmware supports subvariant without checksumming on Tx which
allows to reach higher packet rates on transmit if checksumming is not
required.

HW Rx descriptor represents many contiguous packet buffers which
follow each other. Number of buffers, stride and maximum DMA
length are setup-time configurable per Rx queue based on provided
mempool. The mempool must support contiguous block allocation and
get info API to retrieve number of objects in the block.

The previous patches in the set convert per-port
logging to use NOTICE level and make this level default.
This provides the possibility to remove the dedicated
toggle for init-related messages and merge init logging
with the main log type. In order to keep these logs silent
by default, INFO level should be used.

Split control and datapath to make datapath substitutable and
possibly reusable with alternative control path.
libefx-based Tx datapath is bound to libefx control path, but
it should be possible to use other datapaths with alternative
control path(s).

The patch is to make MAC statistics update interval tunable
by means of 'stats_update_period_ms' kvarg parameter making
it possible to use values different from 1000 ms in case of
SFN8xxx boards provided that firmware version is 6.2.1.1033
