This removes the dependency on specific Mellanox OFED libraries by
using the upstream rdma-core and linux upstream community code.
Both rdma-core upstream and Mellanox OFED are Linux user-space packages:
1. Rdma-core is Linux upstream user-space package.(Generic)
2. Mellanox OFED is Mellanox's Linux user-space package.(Proprietary)
The difference between the two are the APIs towards the kernel.
Support for x86-32 is removed due to issues in rdma-core library.
ICC compilation will be supported as soon as the following patch is
integrated in rdma-core:

Mellanox NICs has a limitation on the number of mbuf segments a multi
segment mbuf can have. The max number depends on the Tx offloads
requested.
The current code not enforce such limitation, which might cause
malformed work requests to be written to the device.
This commit adds verification for the number of mbuf segments posted
to the device. In case of overflow the packet will not be sent.
In addition update the nic documentation with the limitation.
Considering device limitation is 63 data segments in a work request, the
maximum number of segment in mbuf was calculated taking TSO as the worst
case:
max_nb_segs = 63 - (control_segment + ethernet segment +
TSO headers inline + inline segment +
extra inline to align to cacheline)

NFP PMD implement now PF and VF drivers. Although the driver
functionality is the same by now, except for initialization, it
will change with future PF additions.
A new feature is required for describing the firmware upload
capability coming with the NFP PF now, so the PF file will be
updated soon in another patch.
SRIOV is not supported by the PF yet, and it is wrong to include it
as a VF driver feature, so none of the files have such a feature.

The patch simplifies DPDK applications analysis for developers which use
Intel® VTune Amplifier.
The empty cycles are such iterations that yielded no RX packets. As far as
DPDK is running in poll mode, wasting cycles is equal to wasting CPU time.
Tracing such iterations can identify that device is underutilized. Tracing
empty cycles becomes even more critical if a system uses a lot of Ethernet
ports.
The patch gives possibility to analyze empty cycles without changing
application code. All needs to be done is just to reconfigure and rebuild
the DPDK itself with CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_ITT_WASTED_RX_ITERATIONS
enbled. The important thing here is that this does not affect DPDK code.
The profiling code is not being compiled if user does not specify config
flag.
The patch provides common way to inject RX queues profiling and VTune

This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset(),
which a DPDK application can call to reset a NIC and keep its port id
afterwards. It means that all software resources allocated in the ethdev
layer are kept, and software & hardware resources of the NIC within the
NIC's PMD are reset to a state simular to that obtained by calling the
PCI dev_uninit() and then dev_init(). This effective sequence of
dev_uninit() and dev_init() is packed into a single API function
rte_eth_dev_reset().
Please see the comments before the declaration of rte_eht_dev_reset()
in lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h to get more details on why this
function is needed, what it does, when it should be called
and what an application should do after calling this function.

rte_cryptodev_allocate_driver() function gets one parameter
(rte_driver), as the cryptodev_driver structure is
allocated inside the function with rte_malloc.
This function is called from a constructor function,
when crypto PMDs are registered.
If malloc fails, there is no way to recover from it,
so it is better to allocate this structure
statically, in each PMD.
Therefore, it is required to add an extra parameter in
this function, to also get a pointer to this structure.
