[PATCH v7 01/21] net/ntnic: add ethdev and makes PMD available

[zhoumin]

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for giving the link of commit `a6c3ec342ee1`.

However I cannot checkout this commit in the next-net repository because 
the commit ID is not exist in the history of next-net repository. Could 
you find it?

It seems that the commit `a6c3ec342ee1` is nearly identical to the 
commit `62edcfd6ea3c` except the minor change in the subjects as following:

https://git.dpdk.org/next/dpdk-next-net/commit/?id=62edcfd6ea3c61639df68e4a315046d09f462e8c

I'm able to checkout the commit `62edcfd6ea3c` in the next-net 
repository but fail to apply this series, because this series conflicts 
with the commit `a40ac9bcd85c`.

Despite all this, I can apply this series successfully on the artifact 
of commit `a6c3ec342ee1`:

https://git.dpdk.org/next/dpdk-next-net/snapshot/dpdk-next-net-a6c3ec342ee105e322ffdb21e810cdfd38455c62.zip

Loongson lab always tries to update the local repository with the 
upstream before testing the series, and just applies the downloaded 
series to the local repository. So it's possible to skip some commits in 
Loongson lab when chooses the base for applying.


Best regards,

Min Zhou
