[PATCH 0/8] net/mlx5: add Multiport E-Switch support

[Dariusz Sosnowski]

This patchset adds support for probing ports of a Multiport
E-Switch device to mlx5 PMD.

Multiport E-Switch is a configuration of NVIDIA ConnectX/BlueField HCAs
where all connected entities (i.e. physical ports, VFs and SFs)
share the same switch domain.
In this mode, applications are allowed to create transfer flow rules
which explicitly match on the physical port on which traffic
arrives and/or on VFs and SFs, regardless of the root PF.
On top of that, forwarding to any of these entities is allowed.
Notably, applications are allowed to explicitly forward traffic
to any of the physical ports of the HCA.
