This patchset introduces a sample application that demonstrates
a pipeline model for packet processing. Running this sample app
with 17.05-rc2 or later is recommended.

Changes in patch v2:
  * None, incorrect patch upload

Changes in patch v3:
  * Re-work based on comments on mailing list. No major functional changes.
  * Checkpatch cleanup of a couple of typos

Changes in patch v4:
  * Re-named the app as eventdev_pipeline_sw, as it's aimed at showing the
    functionality of the software PMD.

Changes in patch v5:
  * Fixed make doc. eventdev_pipeline to eventdev_pipeline_sw
  * Fixed some typos in the eventdev programmers guide

Changes in patch v6:
  * made name of dirs and app consistent - eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd
  * Added new files and dirs to MAINTAINERS
  * Updaged libeventdev docs based on Jerin's feedback
  * Added some cleanup to eventdev_pipeline sw pmd sample app

Changes in patch v7:
  * Cleaned global vars into structs
  * Changed mac address swap so that packet is not changed
  * Cleaned up report on exit if some stats not supported
  * Added .rst file dropped in v6

Changes in patch v8:
  * Changed 'sw' to 'SW' in git log msg
  * Changed 'eventdev_pipeline' to 'eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd' in git log msg

The sample app itself allows configuration of various pipelines using
command line arguments. Parameters like number of stages, number of
worker cores, which cores are assigned to specific tasks, and work-
cycles per-stage in the pipeline can be configured.

Documentation for eventdev is added for the programmers guide and
sample app user guide, providing sample commands to run the app with,
and expected output.
