[dpdk-dev] [EXT] [PATCH 2/2] eal: handle compressed firmwares

[Igor Russkikh]

> Introduce an internal firmware loading helper to remove code duplication
> in our drivers and handle xz compressed firmwares by calling libarchive.
> 
> This helper tries to look for .xz suffixes so that drivers are not aware
> the firmwares have been compressed.
> 
> libarchive is set as an optional dependency: without libarchive, a
> runtime warning is emitted so that users know there is a compressed
> firmware.
> 
> Windows implementation is left as an empty stub.
