> port_id. port_id is currently defined as uint8_t, which is limited to the range 0 to
> 255. A larger range is required for vdev scalability.
> 
> It is necessary for a redefinition of port_id to extend it from 1 bytes to
> 2 bytes. All ethdev APIs and usages related to port_id will be changed at the
> same time.
