The guest virtio device may request MTU updating when the vhost backend
device exposes a capability to support it.
Expose the MTU feature capability.
At configuration time, check the requested MTU and update it in the HW
device.

Add support for statistics operations.
A DevX counter object is allocated per virtq in order to
manage the virtq statistics.
The counter object is allocated before the virtq creation
and destroyed after it, so the statistics are valid only in
the life time of the virtq.

The vDPA device offloads all the datapath of the vhost
device to the HW device.
In order to expose to the user traffic information this
patch introduces new 3 APIs to get traffic statistics, the
device statistics name and to reset the statistics per
virtio queue.
The statistics are taken directly from the vDPA driver
managing the HW device and can be different for each vendor
driver.

Add support for live migration feature by the HW:
Create a single Mkey that maps the memory address space of the
VHOST live migration log file.
Modify VIRTIO_NET_Q object and provide vhost_log_page,
dirty_bitmap_mkey, dirty_bitmap_size, dirty_bitmap_addr
and dirty_bitmap_dump_enable.
Modify VIRTIO_NET_Q object and move state to SUSPEND.
Query VIRTIO_NET_Q and get hw_available_idx and hw_used_idx.

Add a new driver to support vDPA operations by Mellanox devices.
The first Mellanox devices which support vDPA operations are
ConnectX-6 Dx and Bluefield1 HCA for their PF ports and VF ports.
This driver is depending on rdma-core like the mlx5 PMD, also it is
going to use mlx5 DevX to create HW objects directly by the FW.
Hence, the common/mlx5 library is linked to the mlx5_vdpa driver.
This driver will not be compiled by default due to the above
dependencies.
Register a new log type for this driver.
