Yongseok Koh bc91e8db12 net/mlx5: add 128B padding of Rx completion entry
A PMD parameter (rxq_cqe_pad_en) is added to enable 128B padding of CQE on
RX side. The size of CQE is aligned with the size of a cacheline of the
core. If cacheline size is 128B, the CQE size is configured to be 128B even
though the device writes only 64B data on the cacheline. This is to avoid
unnecessary cache invalidation by device's two consecutive writes on to one
cacheline. However in some architecture, it is more beneficial to update
entire cacheline with padding the rest 64B rather than striding because
read-modify-write could drop performance a lot. On the other hand, writing
extra data will consume more PCIe bandwidth and could also drop the maximum
throughput. It is recommended to empirically set this parameter. Disabled
by default.
