Pull in common VNIC code which enables querying for max egress
packet size with newer firmware via a device command. If the
field is non-zero, it is the max egress packet size. If it is
0, the default value (9022) can safely be assumed. The value
for 1300 series VICS using firmware versions >= 3.1.2 for blade
series and >= 2.0.13 for rack series servers is 9208.
Tx buffers can be emitted only if they are less than the max egress
packet size regardless of the MTU setting (the MTU is advisory).
The max egress packet size can used to determine the upper limit
of the MTU since the enic can also receive packets of size greater
than max egress packet size. A max_mtu variable is added with
a value of max egress packet size minus L2 header size.
The default MTU is set via the CIMC/UCSM management interface and
currently allows value up to 9000. If the value is changed, the
host must be reboot. To avoid the reboot and allow MTU values
up to the max capability of the NIC, MTU update capability will
be added with a max value capped by max_mtu.

Reduce host CPU overhead of Tx packet processing:
* Use local variables inside per-packet loop instead of fields in structs.
* Factor book keeping and conditionals out of the per-packet loop where
possible.
* Post buffers to the nic at a maximum of every 64 packets

Functions existed which were never called. Removed them. Also
rename the 'pmd' from the name of the Tx function to improve clarity.

If the nb_pkts parameter to rte_eth_tx_burst() was greater than
the TX descriptor count, a completion was not being requested
from the NIC, so descriptors would not be released back to the
host causing a lock-up.
Introduce a limit of how many TX descriptors can be used in a single
call to the enic PMD burst TX function before requesting a completion.

This is a wholesale replacement of the Enic PMD receive path in order
to improve performance and code clarity. The changes are:
- Simplify and reduce code path length of receive function.
- Put most of the fast-path receive functions in one file.
- Reduce the number of posted_index updates (pay attention to
rx_free_thresh)
- Remove the unneeded container structure around the RQ mbuf ring
- Prefetch next Mbuf and descriptors while processing the current one
- Use a lookup table for converting CQ flags to mbuf flags.
