There were defines which originally allowed sharing of some code with
the enic kernel driver. The code has long since diverged and now the
abstraction just makes the code harder to read. Mostly mechanical
replacement of defines and reformatting.

Use the memzone namesize, Ethernet address length defines from the RTE
header files instead of locally defined versions.
Use the RTE byte swap functions instead of the x86 specific locally
defined versions.

enic is currently using BSD-2-Clause, whereas the DPDK approved
license is BSD-3-Clause. So replace license text with BSD-3-Clause.
Remove LICENSE as it is redundant.

For performance reasons, this patch uses 2 VIC RQs per RQ presented to
DPDK.
The VIC requires that each descriptor be marked as either a start of
packet (SOP) descriptor or a non-SOP descriptor. A one RQ solution
requires skipping descriptors when receiving small packets and results
in bad performance when receiving many small packets.
The 2 RQ solution makes use of the VIC feature that allows a receive
on primary queue to 'spill over' into another queue if the receive is
too large to fit in the buffer assigned to the descriptor on the
primary queue. This means that there is no skipping of descriptors
when receiving small packets and results in much better performance.
