[dpdk-dev] [RFC v1 0/3] show the Rx/Tx burst description field

[Haiyue Wang]

Since some PMDs have multi-path for Rx/Tx, FD.io VPP will tell you in
the Debug CLI what rx/tx function is being used:
	#show hardware-interface
	 
	 tx burst function: ice_xmit_pkts
	 rx burst function: ice_recv_scattered_pkts

But if the tx/rx is static, then 'dladdr' will return nil:

	 tx burst function: (nil) │······················
	 rx burst function: (nil) │······················

For making things consistent and gracefull, we introduce an new string
field to describe the Rx/Tx burst information. This is vendor-neutral,
it is used to identify the Rx/Tx burst selection if the PMD has more
than one.  

If a PMD supports this, then rxqinfo/txqinfo->burst_info[0] != '\0'.

This is for net/ice PMD result.
