948fd64bef mk: replace the combined library with a linker script
The physically linked-together combined library has been an increasing
source of problems, as was predicted when library and symbol versioning
was introduced. Replace the complex and fragile construction with a
simple linker script which achieves the same without all the problems,
remove the related kludges from eg mlx drivers.

Since creating the linker script is practically zero cost, remove the
config option and just create it always.

Based on a patch by Sergio Gonzales Monroy, linker script approach
initially suggested by Neil Horman.

924e84f873 aesni_mb: add driver for multi buffer based crypto
This patch provides the initial implementation of the AES-NI multi-buffer
based crypto poll mode driver using DPDK's new cryptodev framework.

This PMD is dependent on Intel's multibuffer library, see the whitepaper
"Fast Multi-buffer IPsec Implementations on Intel® Architecture
Processors", see ref 1 for details on the library's design and ref 2 to
download the library itself. This initial implementation is limited to
supporting the chained operations of "hash then cipher" or "cipher then
hash" for the following cipher and hash algorithms:

Cipher algorithms:
  - RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC (with 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys supported)

Authentication algorithms:
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_XCBC_MAC

Important Note:
Due to the fact that the multi-buffer library is designed for
accelerating IPsec crypto operation, the digest's generated for the HMAC
functions are truncated to lengths specified by IPsec RFC's, ie RFC2404
for using HMAC-SHA-1 with IPsec specifies that the digest is truncate
from 20 to 12 bytes.

Build instructions:
To build DPDK with the AESNI_MB_PMD the user is required to download
(ref 2) and compile the multi-buffer library on there system before
building DPDK. The environmental variable AESNI_MULTI_BUFFER_LIB_PATH
must be exported with the path where you extracted and built the multi
buffer library and finally set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_MB=y in
config/common_linuxapp.

Current status: It's doesn't support crypto operation
across chained mbufs, or cipher only or hash only operations.

1703e94ac5 qat: add driver for QuickAssist devices
This patch adds a PMD for the Intel Quick Assist Technology DH895xxC
hardware accelerator.

This patch depends on a QAT PF driver for device initialization. See
the file docs/guides/cryptodevs/qat.rst for configuration details

This patch supports a limited subset of QAT device functionality,
currently supporting chaining of cipher and hash operations for the
following algorithmsd:

Cipher algorithms:
  - RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC (with 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys supported)

Hash algorithms:
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC
  - RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_XCBC_MAC

Some limitation on this patchset which shall be contributed in a
subsequent release:
 - Chained mbufs are not supported.
 - Hash only is not supported.
 - Cipher only is not supported.
 - Only in-place is currently supported (destination address is
   the same as source address).
 - Only supports session-oriented API implementation (session-less
   APIs are not supported).
