General:
--------
- Add API to register external threads
Vhost-user library:
-------------------
- Advertise REPLY_ACK protocol feature unconditionally
* Previously depending on RTE_VHOST_USER_IOMMU_SUPPORT registration
flag
* REPLY_ACK is necessary to ensure proper Vhost-user master/slave
synchronization
* Compatibility with old Qemu versions (v2.7 to v2.9.0) will be broken
when multi-queue enabled. These old Qemu versions have not been
maintained for years both upstream and in major distributions
- Add support for SET_STATUS protocol feature
- Rework vDPA API for better integration in DPDK class model
* Target is to remove experimental tag in v20.11
Virtio PMD:
-----------
- Add support for GET/SET_PROTOCOL_FEATURES protocol requests to
Virtio-user PMD
- Add support for REPLY_ACK protocol feature to Virtio-user PMD
- Add support for SET_STATUS protocol request to Virtio-user PMD
