This patch for DPDK Contributor's Guidelines indicates the repos
against which a new PMD should be prepared; for example, for new
network ethernet PMDs it should be dpdk-next-net, and for new crypto
PMDs it should be dpdk-next-crypto. For other new PMDs, the
contributor should refer to the MAINTAINERS file. Though this may seem
obvious, it is not mentioned in DPDK documentation.

Thank you Rami, you will be missed.
It may be needed by the user to limit the LRO session packet size.
In order to allow the above limitation, a new Rx configuration may be
added for the maximum LRO session size.
A new capability may be added too to expose the maximum LRO session size
supported by the port.

void return value is bad for get API (like rte_eth_dev_info-get())
since caller does not know if the function does its job or not and
output value is filled in.
void return value is bad for state changing API (like
rte_eth_promiscuous_enable()) since caller should use get API
to understand if state is really changed.

The driver names for rawdevs were both different in make and meson builds
and were non-standard in the make version in that some included "rawdev" in
the name while others didn't.
Therefore, for global consistency of naming, we can use "rte_rawdev" rather
than "rte_pmd" for the prefix for the libraries. While most other driver
categories use "rte_pmd" as a prefix, there is precedent for this in the
mempool drivers use "rte_mempool" as a prefix.

The ifpga and skeleton rawdev drivers included "rawdev" in their directory
names, which was superfluous given that they were in the drivers/raw

For meson builds, this will rename the final library .so/.a files
produced, but those will be renamed again later via a patch to
standardize rawdev names.

When LRO offload is configured in Rx queue, the HW may coalesce TCP
packets from same TCP connection into single packet.
In this case the SW should fix the relevant packet headers because
the HW doesn't update them according to the new created packet
characteristics but provides the update values in the CQE.
Add update header code to the regular Rx burst function to support LRO
feature.
Make sure the first mbuf has enough space to include each TCP header,
otherwise the header update may cross mbufs what complicates the
operation too match.

Patch [1] zeroes the mbuf headroom when the port is configured with LRO
because when working with more than one stride per packet the HW cannot
guaranty an headroom in the start stride of each packet.
Change the solution to support mbuf headroom by adding an empty buffer
as the first packet segment, scatter mode must be enabled to support it.

This patch introduces new mlx5 PMD devarg options:
- txq_inline_min - specifies minimal amount of data to be inlined into
WQE during Tx operations. NICs may require this minimal data amount
to operate correctly. The exact value may depend on NIC operation
mode, requested offloads, etc.
- txq_inline_max - specifies the maximal packet length to be completely
inlined into WQE Ethernet Segment for ordinary SEND method. If packet
is larger the specified value, the packet data won't be copied by the
driver at all, data buffer is addressed with a pointer. If packet
length is less or equal all packet data will be copied into WQE.
- txq_inline_mpw - specifies the maximal packet length to be completely
inlined into WQE for Enhanced MPW method.
Driver documentation is also updated.

This patch removes the existing Tx datapath code
as preparation step before introducing the new
implementation. The following entities are being
removed:
- deprecated devargs support
- tx_burst() routines
- related PRM definitions
- SQ configuration code
- Tx routine selection code
- incompatible Tx completion code
The following devargs are deprecated and ignored:
- "txq_inline" is going to be converted to "txq_inline_max"
for compatibility issue
- "tx_vec_en"
- "txqs_max_vec"
- "txq_mpw_hdr_dseg_en"
- "txq_max_inline_len" is going to be converted
to "txq_inline_mpw" for compatibility issue
The deprecated devarg keys are recognized by PMD
and ignored/converted to the new ones in order not
to block device probing.
