For x550 supports 2 new flow director modes, MAC VLAN and Cloud.
The MAC VLAN mode means the MAC and VLAN are monitored.
The Cloud mode is for VxLAN and NVGRE, and the tunnel type,
TNI/VNI, inner MAC and inner VLAN are monitored.
So, there're a few new lookup fields for these 2 new modes, like MAC,
tunnel type, TNI/VNI.
We have to change the ABI to support these new lookup fields.

When using VM power manager app on systems with more than 64 cores,
app could not run even though user does not use cores 64 or higher.
The problem happens only in that case, in which case it will result
in an undefined behaviour.
Thefere, this patch allows the user to run the app on a system with more
than 64 cores, warning the user not to use cores higher than 64 in the VM(s).
Add new known issue where VM power manager app may not work
in a system with more than 64 cores, in release notes.

librte_pmd_mlx4.so needs to be linked with libibverbs otherwise, the PMD is
not able to open Mellanox devices and the following message is printed by
testpmd at startup
"librte_pmd_mlx4: cannot access device, is mlx4_ib loaded?".
Applications dependency on libibverbs are moved to be only valid in static
mode, in shared mode, applications do not depend on it anymore,
librte_pmd_mlx4.so keeps this dependency and thus is linked with libibverbs.
MLX4 cannot be supported in combined shared library because there is no clean
way of adding -libverbs to the combined library.
