This patch adds a fifo channel to the vm_power_manager app through which
we can send commands and polices. Intended for sending JSON strings.
The fifo is at /tmp/powermonitor/fifo

For different workloads and poll loops, the theshold
may be different for when you want to scale up and down.
This patch allows changing of the default branch ratio
by using the -b command line argument (or --branch-ratio=)

Add in the '-l' command line parameter (also --core-list)
So the user can now pass --corelist=4,6,8-10 and it will
expand out to 4,6,8,9,10 using the parse function provided
in parse.c (parse_set).
This list of cores is then used to enable out-of-band monitoring
to scale up and down these cores based on the ratio of branch
hits versus branch misses. The ratio will be low when a poll
loop is spinning with no packets being received, so the frequency
will be scaled down.
Also , as part of this change, we introduce a core_info struct
which keeps information on each core in the system, and whether
we're doing out of band monitoring on them.

In DPDK 17.11, the ethdev offloads API has changed:
commit cba7f53b717d ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API")
commit ce17eddefc20 ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
The new API is documented in the programmer's guide:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.html#hardware-offload
For reminder, the main concepts in the new API were:
- All offloads are disabled by default
- Distinction between per port and per queue offloads.
The transition bits are now removed:
- Translation of the old API in ethdev
- rte_eth_conf.rxmode.ignore_offload_bitfield
- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE
The old API bits are now removed:
- Rx per-port rte_eth_conf.rxmode.[bit-fields]
- Tx per-queue rte_eth_txconf.txq_flags
- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*

Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
- no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
- all allocated ports are available to the application
Such application iterates over ports by its own mean.
The most common pattern is to request the port count and
assume ports with index in the range [0..count[ can be used.
In order to fix this common mistake in all external applications,
the function rte_eth_dev_count is deprecated, while introducing
the new functions rte_eth_dev_count_avail and rte_eth_dev_count_total.

Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
- no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
- all allocated ports are available to the application
Such application assume a valid port index is in the range [0..count[.
There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
- new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be valid
- old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be valid
Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the function rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port.

Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.

Current code only sets mac address of first VF. Fix code so that it
continues through the loop and sets the mac address of each VF.
