The 'get_user_pages_remote()' API is updated in kernel 4.10.0 [1],
but the check added as > 4.9.0,
this logic is broken for kernels 4.9.x, because they justify

A build error reported related to the selected 'get_user_pages_remote()'
kernel API:
.../kernel/linux/kni/kni_dev.h:113:8:
error: too few arguments to function ‘get_user_pages_remote’
ret = get_user_pages_remote(tsk, tsk->mm, iova, 1
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently there are three versions of the 'get_user_pages_remote()'
supported, based on kernel version < 4.9, = 4.9, > 4.9.
These version based checks are not working fine with the distro kernels
which is the cause of reported build error. The error reported by the
kernel version 4.8, but it is using API defined in > 4.9.
To be able to take control of this, and possible more, related build
error, increasing the minimum supported kernel version for iova=va with
KNI to kernel version 4.9.
This leaves us with single version of the kernel API and more manageable.

Now that KNI supports VA (with kernel versions starting 4.6.0), we can
accept IOVA as VA, but KNI must be configured for this.
Pass iova_mode when creating KNI netdevs.
So far, IOVA detection policy forced IOVA as PA when KNI is loaded,
whatever the buses IOVA requirements were.
We can now use IOVA as VA, but this comes with a cost in KNI.
When no constraint is expressed by the buses, keep the current behavior
of choosing PA.
Note: this change supposes that dpdk is built on the same kernel than
the target system kernel; no objection has been expressed on this topic.

va2pa depends on the physical address and virtual address offset of
current mbuf. It may get the wrong physical address of next mbuf which
allocated in another hugepage segment.
In rte_mempool_populate_default(), trying to allocate whole block of
contiguous memory could be failed. Then, it would reserve memory in
several memzones that have different physical address and virtual address
offsets. The rte_mempool_populate_default() is used by
rte_pktmbuf_pool_create().

Add module parameter 'carrier='on|off' to set the default carrier state
for linux network interfaces created by the KNI module. The default
carrier state is 'off'.
For KNI interfaces which need to reflect the carrier state of
a physical Ethernet port controlled by the DPDK application, the
default carrier state should be left set to 'off'. The application
can set the carrier state of the KNI interface to reflect the state
of the physical Ethernet port using rte_kni_update_link().
For KNI interfaces which are purely virtual, the default carrier
state can be set to 'on'. This enables the KNI interface to be
used without having to explicity set the carrier state to 'on'
using rte_kni_update_link().

This change adds automatic figure references to the docs. The
figure numbers in the generated Html and PDF docs are now
automatically numbered based on section.
Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.
The patch makes the following changes.
* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
to the figure.
* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.
* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
for figure.
* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
have one so that they can be cross-referenced.
* Renamed existing image target to match the image
name for consistency.
* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
:ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
and captions.
* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
references.
