7a53028af5 doc: add distributor library API change notice
Given that the packet distributor library improvements (1) will
not be in 17.02, I plan on doing some consolidation of the
API for burst operation for 17.05, merging the two api's into
one, with options for single or burst operation.

18aea6b6f8 doc: postpone ABI changes in igb_uio
This ABI changes to remove iomem and ioport mapping in igb_uio. The
purpose of this changes was to fix a bug: when DPDK app crashes,
those devices by igb_uio are not stopped either DPDK PMD driver or
igb_uio driver.

Then it has been pointed out by Stephen Hemminger that it has
backward compatibility issue: cannot run old version DPDK on
modified igb_uio.

However, we still have not figure out a new way to fix this bug
without this change. Let's postpone this deprecation announcement
in case this change cannot be avoided.

This new sample app, based on the client/server sample app,
shows the user an scenario using the EFD library.
It consists of:

- A front-end server which has an EFD table that stores the
  node id for each flow key, which will distribute the incoming
  packets to the different nodes

- A back-end node, which has a hash table where node checks,
  after reading packets coming from the server, whether the packet
  is meant to be used in such node, in which case it will be TXed,
  or not, in which case, packet will be dropped.

56b6ef874f efd: new Elastic Flow Distributor library
Elastic Flow Distributor (EFD) is a distributor library that uses
perfect hashing to determine a target/value for a given incoming flow key.
It has the following advantages:

- First, because it uses perfect hashing, it does not store
  the key itself and hence lookup performance is not dependent
  on the key size.

- Second, the target/value can be any arbitrary value hence
  the system designer and/or operator can better optimize service rates
  and inter-cluster network traffic locating.

- Third, since the storage requirement is much smaller than a hash-based
  flow table (i.e. better fit for CPU cache), EFD can scale to
  millions of flow keys.
  Finally, with current optimized library implementation performance
  is fully scalable with number of CPU cores.

69736db1d8 eal: introduce I/O device memory read/write operations
This commit introduces 8-bit, 16-bit, 32bit, 64bit I/O device
memory read/write operations along with the relaxed versions.

The weakly-ordered machine like ARM needs additional I/O barrier for
device memory read/write access over PCI bus.
By introducing the eal abstraction for I/O device memory read/write access,
The drivers can access I/O device memory in architecture agnostic manner.

The relaxed version does not have additional I/O memory barrier, useful in
accessing the device registers of integrated controllers which
implicitly strongly ordered with respect to memory access.
