Pavan Nikhilesh d2706e15e6 net/octeontx2: support reduced set of packet types 
Add support to set supported ptypes for octeontx2 and
remove devarg scheme to disable ptype parsing support as
application can use rte_eth_dev_set_ptypes() normative API
to enable the same use case.

Prerequisites
-------------
See :doc:`../platform/octeontx2` for setup information.
Compile time Config Options
---------------------------
The following options may be modified in the ``config`` file.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_OCTEONTX2_PMD`` (default ``y``)
Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_octeontx2`` driver.
Driver compilation and testing
------------------------------
Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
for details.
To compile the OCTEON TX2 PMD for Linux arm64 gcc,
use arm64-octeontx2-linux-gcc as target.
#. Running testpmd:
Follow instructions available in the document
:ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
to run testpmd.

Press enter to exit
Runtime Config Options
----------------------
- ``Rx&Tx scalar mode enable`` (default ``0``)
Ethdev supports both scalar and vector mode, it may be selected at runtime
using ``scalar_enable`` ``devargs`` parameter.
- ``RSS reta size`` (default ``64``)
RSS redirection table size may be configured during runtime using ``reta_size``
``devargs`` parameter.
For example::
-w 0002:02:00.0,reta_size=256
With the above configuration, reta table of size 256 is populated.
- ``Flow priority levels`` (default ``3``)
RTE Flow priority levels can be configured during runtime using
``flow_max_priority`` ``devargs`` parameter.
For example::
-w 0002:02:00.0,flow_max_priority=10
With the above configuration, priority level was set to 10 (0-9). Max
priority level supported is 32.
- ``Reserve Flow entries`` (default ``8``)
RTE flow entries can be pre allocated and the size of pre allocation can be
selected runtime using ``flow_prealloc_size`` ``devargs`` parameter.
For example::
-w 0002:02:00.0,flow_prealloc_size=4
With the above configuration, pre alloc size was set to 4. Max pre alloc
size supported is 32.
- ``Max SQB buffer count`` (default ``512``)
Send queue descriptor buffer count may be limited during runtime using
``max_sqb_count`` ``devargs`` parameter.
For example::
-w 0002:02:00.0,max_sqb_count=64
With the above configuration, each send queue's decscriptor buffer count is
limited to a maximum of 64 buffers.
- ``switch header enable`` (default ``none``)
A port can be configured to a specific switch header type by using
``switch_header`` ``devargs`` parameter.
For example::
-w 0002:02:00.0,switch_header="higig2"
With the above configuration, higig2 will be enabled on that port and the
traffic on this port should be higig2 traffic only. Supported switch header
types are "higig2" and "dsa".
.. note::
Above devarg parameters are configurable per device, user needs to pass the
parameters to all the PCIe devices if application requires to configure on
all the ethdev ports.
Limitations
-----------
``mempool_octeontx2`` external mempool handler dependency
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The OCTEON TX2 SoC family NIC has inbuilt HW assisted external mempool manager.
``net_octeontx2`` pmd only works with ``mempool_octeontx2`` mempool handler
as it is performance wise most effective way for packet allocation and Tx buffer
recycling on OCTEON TX2 SoC platform.
CRC stripping
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The OCTEON TX2 SoC family NICs strip the CRC for every packet being received by
the host interface irrespective of the offload configuration.
Multicast MAC filtering
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``net_octeontx2`` pmd supports multicast mac filtering feature only on physical
function devices.
SDP interface support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OCTEON TX2 SDP interface support is limited to PF device, No VF support.
