This updates mlx4 documentation and DPDK release notes
to reflect the PMD support for rdma-core from linux-rdma.
- PMD is now freed from Mellanox OFED and now only depends on the
public rdma-core package (v15 and above) instead.
(see https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/releases)
This PMD should run under Linux v4.14 and above.
- In case any of the above requirements can't be satisfied,
Mellanox OFED v4.2 and above also provide an updated rdma-core
as well back-ported kernel modules for most Linux distributions
and previous Linux versions.
(see http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=26).

The net PMD overview table is big and required to be shrunk.
The crypto PMD tables had variable column sizes: the latest
columns were smaller.
The minimum width is set to 0.9em without any forced padding.
The maximum width is set to 2em.
The width of the first column set by sphinx is overridden to 0
for full elasticity.

This is a wrapper to Linux kernel get_maintainer.pl file and only
supports parsing MAINTAINERS file (no git fallback etc..)
Requires DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH devel config option set, please check
devtools/load-devel-config.
DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH should be full path to the get_maintainer.pl
script, like:
DPDK_GETMAINTAINER_PATH=~/linux/scripts/get_maintainer.pl
Can be used individually:
./devtools/get-maintainer.sh <my.patch>
Or via git send-email, to add maintainers automatically:
git send-email --to-cmd ./devtools/get-maintainer.sh \
--cc dev@dpdk.org HEAD -4
Currently there is an ugly workaround to be able to use Linux script out
of the kernel tree, later better method can replace it.

Some devices may not support or fail setting VLAN offload
configuration based on dynamic circumstances so the
vlan_offload_set_t vector is modified to return an int so
the caller can determine success or not.
rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_offload is updated to return the
value provided by the vector when called along with restoring
the original offload configs on failure.
Existing vlan_offload_set_t vectors are modified to return
an int. Majority of cases return 0 but a few that actually
can fail now return their failure codes.
Finally, a vlan_offload_set_t vector is added to virtio
to facilitate dynamically turning VLAN strip on or off.

Configuring UAR as IO-mapped makes maximum throughput decline by
noticeable amount. If UAR is configured as write-combining register,
a write memory barrier is needed on ringing a doorbell.
rte_wmb() is mostly effective when the size of a burst is comparatively
small. Revert the register back to write-combining and enforce a write
memory barrier instead, except for vectorized Tx burst routines.
Application can change it by setting MLX5_SHUT_UP_BF under its own
necessity.
