[PATCH v2 0/5] Remove SSE Rx/Tx paths from some Intel drivers

[Ciara Loftus]

This patch removes the SSE Rx and Tx paths from the i40e, iavf and ice
drivers. Each of these drivers have faster vector paths (AVX2 and
AVX-512) which have feature parity with the SSE paths. In
environments where AVX2 or AVX-512 are not supported, the scalar path
will still be used, which also has feature parity.

This series is intended for the next-net-intel tree.

v2:
* Remove deprecation notice
* Provide more detailed explanation in the release notes.
* Usage of function type enum instead of pkt burst pointer in the
supported_ptypes_get functions (simplify the logic by removing #ifdefs)
* More renaming in iavf to remove all mentions of SSE
* Removal of IAVF_REL_MBUFS_AVX512_VEC enum value as it's not used
