[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] kni: add ability to set min/max MTU

[Ferruh Yigit]

From: Igor Ryzhov <iryzhov at nfware.com>

Starting with kernel version 4.10, there are new min/max MTU values in
net_device structure, which are set to ETH_MIN_MTU and ETH_DATA_LEN by
default. We should be able to change these values to allow MTU more than
1500 to be set on KNI.
