b08b8cfeb2 vhost: fix IP checksum
There is no way to bypass IP checksum verification in Linux
kernel, no matter skb->ip_summed is assigned as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
or CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.

So any packets with bad IP checksum will be dropped at VM IP layer.

To correct, we check this flag PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM to calculate IP csum.

46b7a8372d vhost: fix TCP checksum
As PKT_TX_TCP_SEG flag in mbuf->ol_flags implies PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM,
applications, e.g., testpmd, don't set PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM when TSO
is set.

This leads to that packets get dropped in VM tcp stack layer because
of bad TCP csum.

To fix this, we make sure TCP NEEDS_CSUM info is set into virtio net
header when PKT_TX_TCP_SEG is set, so that VM tcp stack will not
check the TCP csum.

To make vectorized burst routines enabled, it is required to run on x86_64

are enabled automatically. The decision is made individually on RX and TX.

c009c6b142 net/ixgbe: remove MTU setting limitation
Currently, if requested MTU is bigger than mbuf size and scattered
receive is not enabled, setting MTU to that value fails.

This patch allows setting this special MTU when device is stopped,
because scattered_rx will be re-configured during next port start
and driver may enable scattered receive according new MTU value.

After this patch, driver may select different receive function
automatically after MTU set, according MTU values selected.

deba8a2f8b net/bonding: fix link properties management
This patch fixes the management of link properties in the bonded device.

In all mode except mode 4 a bonded device link will default to reporting
the link as full duplex and auto-neg. The link speed for a bond port is
calculated on it's active slaves and the particular mode it is running
in. The bonding link speed is reported based on the transmit link as in
some modes link speed between egress/ingress is not symmetrical.

- round-robin, balance, 802.3ad, TLB and ALB modes all report the link
  speed as the sum of the speed of each active slave.
- active backup link speed is reported as the speed of the current
  primary slave
- broadcast is reported as the minimum of value of the active slaves
  link speeds.

In mode 4 (link aggregation 802.3ad) the properties of the first slave
added to the bonded device are slave and subsequent slaves are verified
to have the same properties.

Finally in the bond_ethdev_lsc_event_callback function the link
properties of the device are updated after any change to the number of
active slaves.

d7769c7c08 net/mlx4: support flow API RSS action
This commit adds support for the flow API RSS action with the following
limitations:

 - Only supported when isolated mode is enabled.
 - The number of queues specified by the action (rte_flow_action_rss.num)
   must be a power of two.
 - Each queue index can be specified at most once in the configuration
   (rte_flow_action_rss.queue[]).
 - Because a queue can be associated with a single RSS context, it cannot
   be targeted by multiple RSS actions simultaneously.

ff00a0dc56 net/mlx4: refactor RSS parent queue allocation
A special "parent" queue must be allocated in addition to a group of
standard Rx queues for RSS to work. This is done automatically outside of
isolated mode by the PMD when applications request several Rx queues.

Since each configured flow rule with the RSS action may target a different
set of queues, the PMD must have the ability to dynamically allocate
several parent queues, one per RSS group.

If isolated mode was requested the default RSS parent queue isn't created
in this case.

Refactor RSS parent queue allocations (currently limited to a single
parent) in preparation for flow API RSS action support.

112891cd27 net/bonding: add dedicated HW queues for LACP control
Add support for hardware flow classification of LACP control plane
traffic to be redirect to a dedicated receive queue on each slave which
is not visible to application. Also enables a dedicate transmit queue
for LACP traffic which allows complete decoupling of control and data
paths.

This only applies to bonding devices running in mode 4
(link-aggregation-802.3ad).

Introduce two new APIs to support enable/disabled of dedicated
queues.

- rte_eth_bond_8023ad_dedicated_queues_enable
- rte_eth_bond_8023ad_dedicated_queues_disable

rte_eth_bond_8023ad_dedicated_queues_enable must be called before
bonding port is configured or started to reserved and configure the
dedicated queues.

When this option is enabled all slaves must support flow filtering
by Ethernet type and support one additional Tx and Rx queue on
each slave.

1cd45aeb32 net/bnxt: support Stratus VF device
This patch adds support for Stratus VF devices.
Other than adding the VF device ID, we also are adding
support for short message format.

The new short firmware message of size 16 bytes points to a location
in host memory that contains the firmware message that the driver
wants the adapter to process. This indirection requires the
firmware to DMA the message into its own memory for processing.

When the firmware receives a Short Command Format, it will DMA the
firmware message from host memory into its internal memory and then
processes the message as it would have if it received the message
directly in the firmware communication channel.

With BCM57454, the number of VFs increase to 1K and so the requirement
for firmware communication channel memory on adapter becomes expensive.
The short firmware message saves the amount of memory required to support
1K VFs on adapter.
