849e6ddc6a app/testpmd: fix tunnel offload validation
Tunnel offload API allows application to restore packet to
its original form if chain of flows missed after DECAP action.
The main idea of the tunnel offload API was to query port PMD
to provide flow elements - actions or items.
Flow elements supplied by PMD are merged with original flow rule
elements provided by testpmd operator to create a new flow rule,
optimal for PMD, to implement the tunnel offload API.
That flow rule transformation is hidden form testpmd operator and uses
internal testpmd resources.

Current testpmd did not release tunnel offload resources if flow rule
validation failed.

The patch always releases tunnel offload resources after flow rule
validation returns.

2490bb8971 app/testpmd: fix flow transfer proxy port handling
The current approach detects the proxy port on each port (re-)plug and
may spam the log with error messages if the PMD does not support flows.
As testpmd is a debug tool, it must not do such implicit port handling.
Instead, the new API should be called only when the user requests that.

Revoke the existing code. Implement an explicit command-line primitive
to let the user find the proxy port themselves. Provide relevant hints.

edbe962fa1 app/testpmd: fix GTP PSC extension header length
Current implementation for raw encap sets the length to be in bytes,
but, GTP 'extension' header length is an 8-bit field in 4-octet units.

This fixes the length calculation of the header length.

c7ebd65c13 gpudev: add communication list
In heterogeneous computing system, processing is not only in the CPU.
Some tasks can be delegated to devices working in parallel.
When mixing network activity with task processing there may be the need
to put in communication the CPU with the device in order to synchronize
operations.

An example could be a receive-and-process application
where CPU is responsible for receiving packets in multiple mbufs
and the GPU is responsible for processing the content of those packets.

The purpose of this list is to provide a buffer in CPU memory visible
from the GPU that can be treated as a circular buffer
to let the CPU provide fondamental info of received packets to the GPU.

A possible use-case is described below.

CPU:
- Trigger some task on the GPU
- in a loop:
    - receive a number of packets
    - provide packets info to the GPU

GPU:
- Do some pre-processing
- Wait to receive a new set of packet to be processed

Layout of a communication list would be:

     -------
    |   0    | => pkt_list
    | status |
    | #pkts  |
     -------
    |   1    | => pkt_list
    | status |
    | #pkts  |
     -------
    |   2    | => pkt_list
    | status |
    | #pkts  |
     -------
    |  ....  | => pkt_list

e818c4e2bf gpudev: add memory API
In heterogeneous computing system, processing is not only in the CPU.
Some tasks can be delegated to devices working in parallel.
Such workload distribution can be achieved by sharing some memory.

As a first step, the features are focused on memory management.
A function allows to allocate memory inside the device,
or in the main (CPU) memory while making it visible for the device.
This memory may be used to save packets or for synchronization data.

The next step should focus on GPU processing task control.

82e5f6b658 gpudev: add child device representing a device context
The computing device may operate in some isolated contexts.
Memory and processing are isolated in a silo represented by
a child device.
The context is provided as an opaque by the caller of
rte_gpu_add_child().

8b8036a66e gpudev: introduce GPU device class library
In heterogeneous computing system, processing is not only in the CPU.
Some tasks can be delegated to devices working in parallel.

The new library gpudev is for dealing with GPGPU computing devices
from a DPDK application running on the CPU.

The infrastructure is prepared to welcome drivers in drivers/gpu/.
