[Thomas Monjalon]

> This patch support mergeable RX feature and thus support jumbo frame RX and TX

>  
> On RX, it secures enough room from vring to accommodate one complete scattered
> packet which is received by PMD from physical port, and then copy data from
> mbuf to vring buffer, possibly across a few vring entries and descriptors.
>  
> On TX, it gets a jumbo frame, possibly described by a few vring descriptors which
> are chained together with the flags of 'NEXT', and then copy them into one scattered
> packet and TX it to physical port through PMD.
