The current mbuf scatter gather feature flag is
too ambiguous, as it is not clear if input and/or output
buffers can be scatter gather mbufs or not.
Therefore, three new flags will replace this flag:
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_SGL_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_FB_OUT
- RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_LB_IN_SGL_OUT
Note that out-of-place flat buffers is supported by default
and in-place is not supported by the library.

Renamed feature "Bypass" to "Pass-through",
as it is a more explicit name, meaning that the PMD
is capable of passing the mbufs through it,
without making any modifications (i.e.. NULL algorithm).

In DPDK 17.11, the ethdev offloads API has changed:
commit cba7f53b71 ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API")
commit ce17eddefc ("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*

Support rx of in direction packets only
Useful for apps that also tx to eth_pcap ports in order to not see them
echoed back in as rx when out direction is also captured
Example:
In case using rx_iface and sending *single* packet to eth1
it will loop forever as the when it is sent to tx_iface=eth1
it will be captured again on the rx_iface=eth1 and so on
$RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd l 0-3 -n 4 \
--vdev 'net_pcap0,rx_iface=eth1,tx_iface=eth1'
…
---------------------- Forward statistics for port 0 ------------
RX-packets: 758 RX-dropped: 0 RX-total: 758
TX-packets: 758 TX-dropped: 0 TX-total: 758
------------------------------------------------------------------
While if using rx_iface_in it will not be captured on the way out and
be forwarded only once
$RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd l 0-3 -n 4 \
--vdev 'net_pcap0,rx_iface_in=eth1,tx_iface=eth1'
…
---------------------- Forward statistics for port 0 ------------

Add a new devarg "ig-vlan-rewrite" to allow the user to set
non-default rewrite mode. The UCS VIC may add/remove/modify the VLAN
header of an ingress packet depending on the ingress VLAN rewrite
mode.
By default, the driver sets the pass-through mode, which tells the NIC
"do not touch VLAN header and preserve it as is". This mode is usually
sufficient, but can complicate deployments for certain environments.
For example, OVS-DPDK in UCS blade environments may want to use "untag
default VLAN mode", which removes the VLAN header from an ingress
packet if it matches vNIC's default VLAN.

For i40evf, internal rx interrupt and adminq interrupt share the same
source, that cause a lot cpu cycles be wasted on interrupt handler
on rx path. This is complained by customers which require low latency
(when set I40E_ITR_INTERVAL to small value), but have to be sufferred by
tremendous interrupts handling that eat significant CPU resources.
The patch disable pci interrupt and remove the interrupt handler,
replace it with a low frequency (50ms) interrupt polling daemon
which is implemented by registering a alarm callback periodly, this
save CPU time significently: On a typical x86 server with 2.1GHz CPU,
with low latency configure (32us) we saw CPU usage from top commmand
reduced from 20% to 0% on management core in testpmd).
Also with the new method we can remove compile option: I40E_ITR_INTERVAL
which is used to balance between low latency and low CPU usage previously.
Now we don't need it since we can reach both at same time.

DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC offload flag is added. PMDs that support
keeping CRC should advertise this offload capability.
DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP flag will remain one more release
default behavior in PMDs are to keep the CRC until this flag removed
Until DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP flag is removed:
- Setting both KEEP_CRC & CRC_STRIP is INVALID
- Setting only CRC_STRIP PMD should strip the CRC
- Setting only KEEP_CRC PMD should keep the CRC
- Not setting both PMD should keep the CRC
A helper function rte_eth_dev_is_keep_crc() has been added to be able to
change the no flag behavior with minimal changes in PMDs.
The PMDs that doesn't report the DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC offload can
remove rte_eth_dev_is_keep_crc() checks next release, related code
commented to help the maintenance task.
And DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP has been added to virtual drivers since
they don't use CRC at all, when an application requires this offload
virtual PMDs should not return error.

Multi-Packet Receive Queue is to receive multiple packets on a single large
buffer. The number of consumed strides in CQE is accumulated to keep track
of the current stride index. However, it is safer to directly use stride
index in CQE to avoid out-of-order situation which can possibly be caused
by introducing LRO in the future.
If Rx CQE compression is enabled, HW can be configured to store the stride
index in a mini-CQE but this will need newer version of library/driver.
Therefore, since this change, MPRQ is only supported with the newer
library/driver and Rx hash result is not supported if MPRQ is enabled along
with Rx CQE compression.
