9a40edb599 net/ixgbe: fix UDP zero checksum on x86
There is an 82599 errata that UDP frames with a zero checksum are
incorrectly marked as checksum invalid by the hardware.  This was
leading to misleading PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD flag.

This patch changes the bad UDP checksum to PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN,
so the software application will then have to recompute the checksum
itself if needed.

bd282035b3 net/ixgbevf: add full link status check option
To get the VF's link status by calling 'rte_eth_link_get_nowait()', the
VF not only check PF's physical link status, but also check the mailbox
running status. And mailbox checking will generate mailbox interrupt in
PF, it will be worse if many VFs are running in the system, the PF will
have to handle many interrrupts.

Normally, checking the PF's physical link status is enough for nowait.
For different scenarios, adding an 'pflink_fullchk' option to control
whether to check the link fully or not.

621c5c1db2 doc: add ixgbe known issue with legacy interrrupt
When using uio_pci_generic module or using legacy interrupt mode of
igb_uio or vfio, X550 cannot get interrupts. Because the Interrupt
Status bit is not implemented, then the irq cannot be handled correctly
and cannot report the event fd to DPDK apps.

Add this hw limitation and details into ixgbe known issue.

cf80ba6e20 net/ixgbe: add support for representor ports
Add support for virtual function representor ports to the ixgbe PF
driver. When SR-IOV virtual functions devices are enabled a
corresponding representor port for each VF can be enabled in the
process in which the ixgbe PMD is running within, by specifying the
representor devargs with the list of VF ports that representors
are to be created for.

An example of the devargs which would create VF representor for virtual
functions 0,2,4,5,6 and 7 is:

-w DBDF,representor=[0,2,4-7]

b81f5fa27f net/ixgbe: remove option to disable offload flags
Having packets received without any offload flags given in the mbuf is not
very useful, and performance tests with testpmd indicates little
benefit is got with the current code by turning off the flags. This makes
the build-time option pointless, so we can remove it.

35b09d76f8 doc: use corelist instead of coremask
The coremask option in DPDK is difficult to use and we should be
promoting the use of the corelist (-l) option. The patch
adjusts the docs to use -l EAL option instead of the -c option.

The patch only changes the docs and not the code as the -c option
will continue to exist unless it is removed in the future. The -c
option should be kept to maintain backward compatibility.
