[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] librte_pmd_virtio :Fix: virtio_pci.h non-existent virtio feature bit-flag tested

This series addresses an issue with librte_pmd_virtio where the offset to the
virtio device specific header may be incorrect depending on whether MSI-X has
been enabled or not.

If MSI-X is configured the device specific header is placed at byte offset 24
relative to the IO base address. 
If MSI-X is not configured the device specific header is placed at
byte offset 20. 

The following macro defined in virtio_pci.h is used to test the
presence of the MSI-X header and determine the correct offset: 
#define VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG(hw) (((hw)->guest_features & VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MSIX) ? 24 : 20) 

However, VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MSIX is not a guest_feature nor is it part of the
Virtio Specification and resolves to the VIRTIO_NET_F_MAC feature as both
are #defined as 0x20. 

VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_MSIX or similar flag should instead be set by the kernel
driver allocating resources and passed to user space for testing. 
i.e. 
#define VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG(hw) (((hw)->intr_mode & IGBUIO_MSIX_INTR_MODE) ? 24 : 20)

To enable this testing of interrupt mode, this series allows for the kernel
driver(igb_uio) to place the configured interrupt mode into a sysfs entry.
sysfs is then parsed by eal_pci to determine the configured mode, which
allows all user space devices to correctly determine the interrupt mode,
including virtio_ethdev.

This series should be applied prior to Anatoly Burakov's
[VFIO] Add VFIO support to DPDK series

Alan Carew (4):
  igb_uio: Add interrupt_mode sysfs entry for igb_uio devices
  eal_pci: Add interrupt mode to rte_pci_device and parsing to eal_pci
  FreeBSD: Adds the equivalent interrupt mode setting and parsing
  virtio: Fixes the VIRTIO_PCI_CONFIG macro to use the correct offset
    to the Virtio header
