5142945b3a eal: fix build with Xen dom0 enabled
There is a new function in the EAL API for internal use.
It has neither a proper prefix nor a .map export:
libethdev.so: undefined reference to `is_xen_dom0_supported'

Fixes: 719dbebceb81 ("xen: allow determining DOM0 at runtime")

71594065e2 ethdev: remove duplicated debug functions
The functions for rx/tx burst, for rx_queue_count and descriptor_done in
the ethdev library all had two copies of the code. One copy in
rte_ethdev.h was inlined for performance, while a second was in
rte_ethdev.c for debugging purposes only. We can eliminate the second
copy of the functions by moving the additional debug checks into the
copies of the functions in the header file. [Any compilation for
debugging at optimization level 0 will not inline the function so the
result should be same as when the function was in the .c file.]

Move the function pointer and port id checking macros to rte_ethdev and

RTE_PMD_DEBUG_TRACE so this macro can be built with the -pedantic flag

50ead110cb ethdev: prefix internal error checking macros
The macros to check that the function pointers and port ids are valid
for an ethdev are potentially useful to have in a common headers for
use with all PMDs. However, since they would then become externally
visible, we apply the RTE_ & RTE_ETH_ prefix to them as approtiate.

d5790b03b3 ethdev: fix link status race condition
Calling the Ethernet driver's link_update function from
rte_eth_dev_start can result in a race condition if the NIC raises
the link interrupt at the same time.
Depending on the interrupt handler implementation, the race can cause
the it to think that it received two consecutive link up interrupts,
and it exits without calling the user callback. Appears to impact
E1000/IGB and virtio drivers only.

6b6861c171 ethdev: check queue state before starting or stopping
Following the same approach taken with dev_started field
in rte_eth_dev_data structure, this patch adds two new fields
in it, rx_queue_state and tx_queue_state arrays, which track
which queues have been started and which not.

This is important to avoid trying to start/stop twice a queue,
which will result in undefined behaviour
(which may cause RX/TX disruption).

Mind that only the PMDs which have queue_start/stop functions
have been changed to update this field, as the functions will
check the queue state before switching it.

64b7acd861 ethdev: add multicast address filtering

This method may not work on Virtual Functions in SR-IOV architectures
when the host PF driver does not allow such operation on VFs.
In such cases, joined multicast addresses must be individually added
in the set of multicast addresses that are filtered by the [VF] port.

For this purpose, a new function "set_mc_addr_list" is introduced
into the set of functions that are exported by a Poll Mode Driver.
