ee76bddc76 doc: fix naming of Mellanox devices
The devices of the family ConnectX may have two letters as suffix.
Such suffix is preceded with a space and the second x is lowercase:
    - ConnectX-4 Lx
    - ConnectX-5 Ex
    - ConnectX-6 Dx

Uppercase of the device family name BlueField is also fixed.

The lists of supported devices are fixed.

d16623dd39 net/enic: revert mbuf fast free offload
This reverts the patch that enabled mbuf fast free.

There are two main reasons.

First, enic_fast_free_wq_bufs is broken. When
DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE is enabled, the driver calls this
function to free transmitted mbufs. This function currently does not
reset next and nb_segs. This is simply wrong as the fast-free flag
does not imply anything about next and nb_segs.

We could fix enic_fast_free_wq_bufs by making it to call
rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg to reset the required fields. But, it negates
most of cycle saving.

Second, there are customer applications that blindly enable all Tx
offloads supported by the device. Some of these applications do not
satisfy the requirements of mbuf fast free (i.e. a single pool per
queue and refcnt = 1), and end up crashing or behaving badly.

Fixes: bcaa54c1a1 ("net/enic: support mbuf fast free offload")

831dba47bd bus/vmbus: add Hyper-V virtual bus support
This patch adds support for an additional bus type Virtual Machine BUS
(VMBUS) on Microsoft Hyper-V in Windows 10, Windows Server 2016
and Azure. Most of this code was extracted from FreeBSD and some of
this is from earlier code donated by Brocade.

Only Linux is supported at present, but the code is split
to allow future FreeBSD and Windows support.

The bus support relies on the uio_hv_generic driver from Linux
kernel 4.16. Multiple queue support requires additional sysfs
interfaces which is in kernel 5.0 (a.k.a 4.17).

db10602b76 cryptodev: add min headroom and tailroom requirement
Enabling crypto devs to specify the minimum headroom and tailroom it
expects in the mbuf. For net PMDs, standard headroom has to be honoured
by applications, which is not strictly followed for crypto devs. This
prevents crypto devs from using free space in mbuf (available as
head/tailroom) for internal requirements in crypto operations. Addition
of head/tailroom requirement will help PMDs to communicate such
requirements to the application.

The availability and use of head/tailroom is an optimization if the
hardware supports use of head/tailroom for crypto-op info. For devices
that do not support using the head/tailroom, they can continue to operate
without any performance-drop.

2d349f6034 cryptodev: rename experimental private data APIs
The name private_data is confusing in these APIs:
rte_cryptodev_sym_session_set_private_data()
rte_cryptodev_sym_session_get_private_data()
It refers to data added at the end of the session hdr for
use by the application.
The session already contains sess_private_data[index]
which is used to store private pmd data and most references to private
data refer to that.
e.g. external apis
rte_cryptodev_sym_get_private_session_size() and internal
set/get_session_private_data() refer to sess_private_data[].

So rename to user_data, i.e.
rte_cryptodev_sym_session_set_user_data()
rte_cryptodev_sym_session_get_user_data()

Refers to changes introduced here:

2925e0c190 cryptodev: define value for unlimited sessions
Currently, the info structure contains the maximum number
of sessions that a device can manage.
This field was useful when the session mempool was created inside
each device, but now it is created at the application level.

Most PMDs do not have a limitation on the sessions managed,
but a few do, therefore this field must remain in the structure.
However, a new value, 0, can be used to indicate that
a device does not have an actual maximum of sessions.
