This is a Linux-specific virtual PMD driver backed by an AF_PACKET
socket. This implementation uses mmap'ed ring buffers to limit copying
and user/kernel transitions. The PACKET_FANOUT_HASH behavior of
AF_PACKET is used for frame reception. In the current implementation,
Tx and Rx queues are always paired, and therefore are always equal
in number -- changing this would be a Simple Matter Of Programming.
Interfaces of this type are created with a command line option like
"--vdev=eth_af_packet0,iface=...". There are a number of options available
as arguments:
- Interface is chosen by "iface" (required)
- Number of queue pairs set by "qpairs" (optional, default: 1)
- AF_PACKET MMAP block size set by "blocksz" (optional, default: 4096)
- AF_PACKET MMAP frame size set by "framesz" (optional, default: 2048)
- AF_PACKET MMAP frame count set by "framecnt" (optional, default: 512)

While some applications may store metadata about packets in the packet
mbuf headroom, this is not a workable solution for packet metadata which
is either:
* larger than the headroom (or headroom is needed for adding pkt headers)
* needs to be shared or copied among packets
To support these use cases in applications, we reserve a general
"userdata" pointer field inside the second cache-line of the mbuf. This
is better than having the application store the pointer to the external
metadata in the packet headroom, as it saves an additional cache-line
from being used.
Apart from storing metadata, this field also provides a general 8-byte
scratch space inside the mbuf for any other application uses that are
applicable.

[Thomas: add void to fix function signature]
This change splits the mbuf in two to move the pool and next pointers to
the second cache line. This frees up 16 bytes in first cache line.
The reason for this change is that we believe that there is no possible
way that we can ever fit all the fields we need to fit into a 64-byte
mbuf, and so we need to start looking at a 128-byte mbuf instead. Examples
of new fields that need to fit in, include -
* 32-bits more for filter information for support for the new filters in
the i40e driver (and possibly other future drivers)
* an additional 2-4 bytes for storing info on a second vlan tag to allow
drivers to support double Vlan/QinQ
* 4-bytes for storing a sequence number to enable out of order packet
processing and subsequent packet reordering
as well as potentially a number of other fields or splitting out fields
that are superimposed over each other right now, e.g. for the qos scheduler.
We also want to allow space for use by other non-Intel NIC drivers that may
be open-sourced to dpdk.org in the future too, where they support fields
and offloads that currently supported hardware doesn't.
If we accept the fact of a 2-cache-line mbuf, then the issue becomes
how to rework things so that we spread our fields over the two
cache lines while causing the lowest slow-down possible. The general
approach that we are looking to take is to focus the first cache
line on fields that are updated on RX , so that receive only deals
with one cache line. The second cache line can be used for application
data and information that will only be used on the TX leg. This would
allow us to work on the first cache line in RX as now, and have the
second cache line being prefetched in the background so that it is
available when necessary. Hardware prefetches should help us out
here. We also may move rarely used, or slow-path RX fields e.g. such
as those for chained mbufs with jumbo frames, to the second
cache line, depending upon the performance impact and bytes savings
achieved.

for expansion. This patch increases the field size to 64-bits, using up

new numbers have been explicitly reserved between existing flag
definitions.

* Reorder the fields in the mbuf so that we have fields that are used
together side-by-side in the structure. This means that we have a
contiguous block of 8-bytes in the mbuf which are used to reset an mbuf
of descriptor rearm, and a block of 16-bytes of data (excluding flags)
which are set on RX from the received packet descriptor.
* Use dummy fields as appropriate to ensure alignment or to reserve gaps
for later field additions.
* Place most items which are not used by fast-path RX separately at the end
of the structure so they can later be moved to a separate cache line.
[The l2/l3 length fields are not moved at this stage as doing so will
cause overflow to the next cache line].

The mbuf structure already contains a pointer to the beginning of the
buffer (m->buf_addr). It is not needed to use 8 bytes again to store
another pointer to the beginning of the data.
Using a 16 bits unsigned integer is enough as we know that a mbuf is
never longer than 64KB. We gain 6 bytes in the structure thanks to
this modification.
