For x550 supports 2 new flow director modes, MAC VLAN and Cloud.
The MAC VLAN mode means the MAC and VLAN are monitored.
The Cloud mode is for VxLAN and NVGRE, and the tunnel type,
TNI/VNI, inner MAC and inner VLAN are monitored.
So, there're a few new lookup fields for these 2 new modes, like MAC,
tunnel type, TNI/VNI.
We have to change the ABI to support these new lookup fields.

When a change makes really hard to keep ABI compatibility,
instead of waiting next release to break the ABI, it is smoother
to introduce the new code as a preview and disable it when packaging.
The flag RTE_NEXT_ABI must be used to "ifdef" the new code.
When the release is out, a dynamically linked application can use
the new shared libraries with the old ABI while developpers can prepare
their application for the next ABI by reading the deprecation notice
and easily testing the new code.
When starting the next release cycle, the "ifdefs" will be removed
and the ABI break will be marked by incrementing LIBABIVER. The map
files will also be updated.
The default value is enabled to be developer compliant.
The packagers must disable it as done in pkg/dpdk.spec.
When enabled, all shared library numbers are incremented by appending
a minor .1 to the old ABI number. In the next release, only impacted
libraries will have a major +1 increment.
The impacted libraries must provide an alternative map file to use
with this option.
The ABI policy is updated.

* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption

* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.
* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
for figure.
* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
have one so that they can be cross-referenced.
* Renamed existing image target to match the image
name for consistency.

:ref: entries to generate automatic numbering

This change adds some simple handling for the :numref: directive
for Sphinx versions prior to 1.3.1. This allows the Guides
documentation to be built with older versions of Sphinx and still
produce reasonable results.
The patch replaces the :numref: reference with a link to the
target (for all Sphinx doc types). It doesn't try to label
figures/tables.
Full numref support with automatic figure/table numbering and
links can be obtained by upgrading to Sphinx 1.3.1 or later.

This library provide API to measure time spend in particular parts of
code and to calculate optimal polling time.
To calculate a those statistics application code need to be divided into
parts (called jobs) that do something. It is up to application to decide
what is considered a job.
Series of jobs must be surrounded with the rte_jobstats_context_start()
and rte_jobstats_context_finish() calls. After that, jobs might be
started. Each job must be surrounded with rte_jobstats_start() and
rte_jobstats_finish() calls.
After job finishes its execution, period in which it should be called
again is adjusted. It might be used to minimize time wasted on
unnecessary polls/calls. Adjustment is based on data provided by job
itself (ex: number of packets it processed).
After all jobs in serie are executed fallowing statistics are updated
and might be used by application. Statistics can be reset. Some of
provided statistic data:
- total/min/max execution - time spent in executing jobs.
- total/min/max management - time spent outside execution area. This
value might be used to measure overhead of scheduling jobs. This time
also contains overhead of rte_jobstats library itself.
- number of loops that executed at least one job
- executed jobs
- time when statistics were reset.
Each job provide total/min/max execution time and execution count
statistics.

Since the DPDK is now part of the BSD ports collection, we should
recommend installing from ports as the best way to get it up and
running.
In order to achieve this, while still keeping the document readable, the
chapter on system requirements has been moved to instead be a section
within the chapter on compiling the DPDK outside of the ports
collection. This move is necessary, since it covered a lot of detail on
installing other ports required to build DPDK. These steps are not
needed when installing DPDK itself from ports.

The Packet Framework pipeline library provides a standard methodology
(logically similar to OpenFlow) for rapid development of complex packet
processing pipelines out of ports, tables and actions.
A pipeline is constructed by connecting its input ports to its output ports
through a chain of lookup tables. As result of lookup operation into the
current table, one of the table entries (or the default table entry, in case
of lookup miss) is identified to provide the actions to be executed on the
current packet and the associated action meta-data.
The behavior of user actions is defined through the configurable table action
handler, while the reserved actions define the next hop for the current packet
(either another table, an output port or packet drop) and are handled
transparently by the framework.

Various types of hash tables presented under the Packet Framework toolbox.
Hash table types:
1. Extendible bucket (ext): when bucket is full, bucket is extended with
more keys
2. Least Recently Used (LRU): when bucket is full, the LRU entry is discarded
3. Pre-computed key signature: RX core extracts the key n-tuple from the
packet, computes the key signature and saves the key and key signature
within the packet meta-data; flow classification core performs the actual
lookup (the bucket search stage) after reading the key and key signature
from packet meta-data
4. Signature computed on-the-fly (do-sig version): the same CPU core extracts
the key n-tuple from pkt, computes key signature and performs the table
lookup
5. Configurable key size or optimized for single key size (8-byte, 16-byte
and 32-byte key sizes)

Source port is a packet generator, similar to /dev/zero Linux device.
Sink port is a packet terminator (drops all input packets), similar
to /dev/null Linux device.

[Thomas: some code-style changes]
This adds the code for a new Intel DPDK library for packet distribution.
The distributor is a component which is designed to pass packets
one-at-a-time to workers, with dynamic load balancing. Using the RSS
field in the mbuf as a tag, the distributor tracks what packet tag is
being processed by what worker and then ensures that no two packets with
the same tag are in-flight simultaneously. Once a tag is not in-flight,
then the next packet with that tag will be sent to the next available
core.

[Thomas: add doxygen @file comment]
The "default" part in configuration filenames is misleading.
Rename this as "native", as this is the RTE_MACHINE that is set in these files.
This should make it clearer for people who build DPDK on a system then run it on
another one.
