Prior to this patch, all port representors detected on a given device were
probed and Ethernet devices instantiated for each of them.
This patch adds support for the standard "representor" parameter, which
implies that port representors are not probed by default anymore, except
for the list provided through device arguments.

In DPDK 17.11, the ethdev offloads API has changed:
commit cba7f53b717d ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API")
commit ce17eddefc20 ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
The new API is documented in the programmer's guide:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.html#hardware-offload
For reminder, the main concepts in the new API were:
- All offloads are disabled by default
- Distinction between per port and per queue offloads.
The transition bits are now removed:
- Translation of the old API in ethdev
- rte_eth_conf.rxmode.ignore_offload_bitfield
- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE
The old API bits are now removed:
- Rx per-port rte_eth_conf.rxmode.[bit-fields]
- Tx per-queue rte_eth_txconf.txq_flags
- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*

This patch check if a input requested offloading is valid or not.
Any reuqested offloading must be supported in the device capabilities.
Any offloading is disabled by default if it is not set in the parameter
dev_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure() and
[rt]x_conf->offloads to rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup().
If any offloading is enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure() by application,
it is enabled on all queues no matter whether it is per-queue or
per-port type and no matter whether it is set or cleared in
[rt]x_conf->offloads to rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup().
If a per-queue offloading hasn't be enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure(),
it can be enabled or disabled for individual queue in
ret_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup().
A new added offloading is the one which hasn't been enabled in
rte_eth_dev_configure() and is reuqested to be enabled in
rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup(), it must be per-queue type,
otherwise trigger an error log.
The underlying PMD must be aware that the requested offloadings
to PMD specific queue_setup() function only carries those
new added offloadings of per-queue type.
This patch can make above such checking in a common way in rte_ethdev
layer to avoid same checking in underlying PMD.
This patch assumes that all PMDs in 18.05-rc2 have already
converted to offload API defined in 17.11 . It also assumes
that all PMDs can return correct offloading capabilities
in rte_eth_dev_infos_get().
In the beginning of [rt]x_queue_setup() of underlying PMD,
add offloads = [rt]xconf->offloads |
dev->data->dev_conf.[rt]xmode.offloads; to keep same as offload API
defined in 17.11 to avoid upper application broken due to offload
API change.
PMD can use the info that input [rt]xconf->offloads only carry
the new added per-queue offloads to do some optimization or some
code change on base of this patch.

The ownership of a port is implicit in DPDK.
Making it explicit is better from the next reasons:
1. It will define well who is in charge of the port usage synchronization.
2. A library could work on top of a port.
3. A port can work on top of another port.
Also in the fail-safe case, an issue has been met in testpmd.
We need to check that the application is not trying to use a port which
is already managed by fail-safe.
A port owner is built from owner id(number) and owner name(string) while
the owner id must be unique to distinguish between two identical entity
instances and the owner name can be any name.
The name helps to logically recognize the owner by different DPDK
entities and allows easy debug.
Each DPDK entity can allocate an owner unique identifier and can use it
and its preferred name to owns valid ethdev ports.
Each DPDK entity can get any port owner status to decide if it can
manage the port or not.
The mechanism is synchronized for both the primary process threads and
the secondary processes threads to allow secondary process entity to be
a port owner.
Add a synchronized ownership mechanism to DPDK Ethernet devices to
avoid multiple management of a device by different DPDK entities.
The current ethdev internal port management is not affected by this
feature.

The pointer to the user parameter of the callback registration is
automatically pass to the callback function.
There is no point to allow changing this user parameter by a caller.
That's why this parameter is always set to NULL by PMDs and set only
in ethdev layer before calling the callback function.
The history is that the user parameter was initially used
by the callback implementation to pass some information
between the application and the driver:
c1ceaf3ad056 ("ethdev: add an argument to internal callback function")
Then a new parameter has been added to leave the user parameter
to its standard usage of context given at registration:
d6af1a13d7a1 ("ethdev: add return values to callback process API")
The NULL parameter in the internal callback processing function
is now removed. It makes clear that the callback parameter is user
managed and opaque from a DPDK point of view.

This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset(),
which a DPDK application can call to reset a NIC and keep its port id
afterwards. It means that all software resources allocated in the ethdev
layer are kept, and software & hardware resources of the NIC within the
NIC's PMD are reset to a state simular to that obtained by calling the
PCI dev_uninit() and then dev_init(). This effective sequence of
dev_uninit() and dev_init() is packed into a single API function
rte_eth_dev_reset().
Please see the comments before the declaration of rte_eht_dev_reset()
in lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h to get more details on why this
function is needed, what it does, when it should be called
and what an application should do after calling this function.

Introducing the DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE TX capability flag.
if a PMD advertises DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE capable, multiple threads
can invoke rte_eth_tx_burst() concurrently on the same tx queue without
SW lock. This PMD feature will be useful in the following use cases and
found in the OCTEON family of NPUs.
1) Remove explicit spinlock in some applications where lcores
to TX queues are not mapped 1:1.
example: OVS has such instance
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L299https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L1859
See the the usage of tx_lock spinlock.
2) In the eventdev use case, avoid dedicating a separate TX core for
transmitting and thus enables more scaling as all workers can
send the packets.

Extended xstats API in ethdev library to allow grouping of stats
logically so they can be retrieved per logical grouping managed
by the application.
Added new functions rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id and
rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id using additional arguments (in compare
to rte_eth_xstats_get_names and rte_eth_xstats_get) - array of ids
and array of values.
doc: add description for modified xstats API
Documentation change for new extended statistics API functions.
The old API only allows retrieval of *all* of the NIC statistics
at once. Given this requires a MMIO read PCI transaction per statistic
it is an inefficient way of retrieving just a few key statistics.
Often a monitoring agent only has an interest in a few key statistics,
and the old API forces wasting CPU time and PCIe bandwidth in retrieving
*all* statistics; even those that the application didn't explicitly
show an interest in.
The new, more flexible API allow retrieval of statistics per ID.
If a PMD wishes, it can be implemented to read just the required
NIC registers. As a result, the monitoring application no longer wastes
PCIe bandwidth and CPU time.
