With fixed avail ring, we don't need to get desc idx from avail ring.

This patch uses vector instruction to accelerate processing desc ring.

In DPDK based switching environment, mostly vhost runs on a dedicated core
while virtio processing in guest VMs runs on different cores.
Take RX for example, with generic implementation, for each guest buffer,
a) virtio driver allocates a descriptor from free descriptor list
b) modify the entry of avail ring to point to allocated descriptor
c) after packet is received, free the descriptor
When vhost fetches the avail ring, it need to fetch the modified L1 cache from
virtio core, which is a heavy cost in current CPU implementation.
This idea of this optimization is:
allocate the fixed descriptor for each entry of avail ring, so avail ring will
always be the same during the run.
This removes L1M cache transfer from virtio core to vhost core for avail ring.
(Note we couldn't avoid the cache transfer for descriptors).
Besides, descriptor allocation and free operation is eliminated.
This also makes vector procesing possible to further accelerate the processing.
This is the layout for the avail ring(take 256 ring entries for example), with
each entry pointing to the descriptor with the same index.
avail
idx

| 0 | 1 | 2 | | 254 | 255 | used ring

This is the ring layout for TX.
As we need one virtio header for each xmit packet, we have 128 slots available.

Bonding device implements independent management of RSS settings. It
stores its own copies of settings i.e. RETA, RSS hash function and RSS
key. It’s required to ensure consistency.
1) RSS hash function set for bonding device is maximal set of RSS hash
functions supported by all bonded devices. That mean, to have RSS support
for bonding, all slaves should be RSS-capable.
2) RSS key is propagated over the slaves "as is".
3) RETA for bonding is an internal table managed by bonding API, and is
used as a pattern to set up slaves. Its size is GCD of all RETA sizes, so
it can be easily used as a pattern providing expected behavior, even if
slaves RETA sizes are different.

Comparing with the older NICs, x550's RSS redirection table is enlarged to 512
entries. As the original code is for the NICs which have a 128 entries RSS table,
it means only part of the RSS table is set on x550. So, RSS cannot work as
expected on x550, it doesn't redirect the packets evenly.
This patch configs the entries beyond 128 on x550 to let RSS work well, and also

People have been asking for ways to use the ABI macros, heres some docs to
clarify their use. Included is:
* An overview of what ABI is
* Details of the ABI deprecation process
* Details of the versioning macros
* Examples of their use
* Details of how to use the ABI validator
Thanks to John Mcnamara, who duplicated much of this effort at Intel while I was
working on it. Much of the introductory material was gathered and cleaned up by
him.

Jenkins hash function was developed originally in 1996,
and was integrated in first versions of DPDK.
The function has been improved in 2006,
achieving up to 35% better performance, compared to the original one.
This patch integrates that code into the rte_jhash library.
It also updates the precalculated hash values in the unit test,
as the code now returns different values (expected).
A final note has been added in release notes for stating
the changes made.

Add a new wrapper to rte_mempool_create() to simplify the creation
of a packet mbuf pool.
This wrapper can be used if there is no specific mempool flags, and
no specific mbuf or pool constructor function, which is most of the
use cases.

Deduct the mbuf data room size from mempool->elt_size and priv_size,
instead of using an hardcoded value that is not related to the real
buffer size.
To use rte_pktmbuf_pool_init(), the user can either:
- give a NULL parameter to rte_pktmbuf_pool_init(): in this case, the
private size is assumed to be 0, and the room size is
mp->elt_size - sizeof(struct rte_mbuf).
- give the rte_pktmbuf_pool_private filled with appropriate
data_room_size and priv_size values.
