[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 6/9] net/ifc: add devarg for LM mode

This patch series enables a new method for live migration, i.e. software
assisted live migration. This patch provides a device argument for user
to choose the methold.

When "swlm=1", driver/device will do live migration with a relay thread
dealing with dirty page logging. Without this parameter, device will do
dirty page logging and there's no relay thread consuming CPU resource.
