Add a simple on/off switch that will enable saving power when no packets are arriving. It is based on counting the number of empty polls and, when the number reaches a certain threshold, entering an architecture-defined optimized power state that will either wait until a TSC timestamp expires, or when packets arrive. This API mandates a core-to-single-queue mapping (that is, multiple queued per device are supported, but they have to be polled on different cores). This design is using PMD RX callbacks. 1. UMWAIT/UMONITOR: When a certain threshold of empty polls is reached, the core will go into a power optimized sleep while waiting on an address of next RX descriptor to be written to. 2. TPAUSE/Pause instruction This method uses the pause (or TPAUSE, if available) instruction to avoid busy polling. 3. Frequency scaling Reuse existing DPDK power library to scale up/down core frequency depending on traffic volume.
