Bruce Richardson 06371afe39 examples/netmap_compat: import netmap compatibility example
This provides a sample application and library showing how to use the
Intel(R) DPDK with basic netmap applications.

The Netmap compatibility library provides a minimal set of APIs to give the ability to
programs written against the Netmap APIs to be run with minimal changes to their
source code, using the Intel® DPDK to perform the actual packet I/O.
Since Netmap applications use regular system calls, like open(), ioctl() and
mmap() to communicate with the Netmap kernel module performing the packet I/O,
the compat_netmap library provides a set of similar APIs to use in place of those
system calls, effectively turning a Netmap application into a Intel(R) DPDK one.
The provided library is currently minimal and doesn’t support all the features that
Netmap supports, but is enough to run simple applications, such as the
bridge example included.

The application requires a single command line option:
 -i INTERFACE is the number of a valid Intel(R) DPDK port to use.
If a single -i parameter is given, the interface will send back all the traffic it
receives. If two -i parameters are given, the two interfaces form a bridge, where
traffic received on one interface is replicated and sent by the other interface.

* This header contains the macros used to manipulate netmap structures
* and packets in userspace. See netmap(4) for more information.
*
* The address of the struct netmap_if, say nifp, is computed from the
* value returned from ioctl(.., NIOCREG, ...) and the mmap region:
* ioctl(fd, NIOCREG, &req);
* mem = mmap(0, ... );
* nifp = NETMAP_IF(mem, req.nr_nifp);
* (so simple, we could just do it manually)
*
* From there:
* struct netmap_ring *NETMAP_TXRING(nifp, index)
* struct netmap_ring *NETMAP_RXRING(nifp, index)
* we can access ring->nr_cur, ring->nr_avail, ring->nr_flags
*
* ring->slot[i] gives us the i-th slot (we can access
* directly plen, flags, bufindex)
*
* char *buf = NETMAP_BUF(ring, index) returns a pointer to
* the i-th buffer
*
* Since rings are circular, we have macros to compute the next index
* i = NETMAP_RING_NEXT(ring, i);
