[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCH 0/7] add test suite for DMA drivers

This patchset adds a fairly comprehensive set of tests for basic dmadev
functionality. It takes the existing tests that were in the skeleton dmadev and
uses those to create a set of API-level tests to check the basics of the dmadev
library itself. Once that is done, the "selftest" part of the dmadev API is
removed as drivers should largely rely on the standard tests to ensure
compatibility.

For those standard tests, tests are added to verify basic copy operation in each
device, using both submit function and submit flag, and verifying completion
gathering using both "completed()" and "completed_status()" functions. Beyond
that, tests are then added for the error reporting and handling, as is a suite
of tests for the fill() operation for devices that support those.

NOTE: This patchset depends on series v16 of the dmadev set [1]. The first 2
patches should probably be merged into that set for completeness as they move
and adjust basic dmadev code, and the dmadev skeleton driver.
