[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 00/29] Support VFD and DPDK PF + kernel VF on i40e

[Ferruh Yigit]

1, VF Daemon (VFD)
VFD is an idea to control all the VFs from PF.
As we need to support the scenario kernel PF + DPDK VF, 
DPDK follows the interface between kernel PF + kernel VF. 
We don't want to introduce too many new messages between PF and VF. 
So this patch set adds some new APIs to control VFs directly from PF.
The new APIs include,
1) set VF MAC anti-spoofing
2) set VF VLAN anti-spoofing
3) set TX loopback
4) set VF unicast promiscuous mode
5) set VF multicast promiscuous mode
6) set VF MTU
7) get/reset VF stats
8) set VF MAC address
9) set VF VLAN stripping
10) VF VLAN insertion
12) set VF broadcast mode
12) set VF VLAN tag
13) set VF VLAN filter
VFD also includes VF to PF mailbox message management by APP.
When PF receives mailbox messages from VF, PF should call the callback provided by APP to know if they're permitted to be processed.

2, Implement VF MAC address setting on VF.

3, Support the scenario DPDK PF + kernel VF.

v4:
- rebase on latest next-net
- move patch 10/29 testpmd part to patch 18/29

v3:
- fix issue that VF does not work for i40e
- remove patch for VDMq receive mode init
- move get/reset VF stats API into rte_pmd_i40

v2:
- fix the compile issues.
- fix the checkpatch warning and typo.
- update the commit log of some patches.
- fix the invalid port ID issue of testpmd.
