[RFC PATCH 00/14] net/intel: rx path selection simplification

[Ciara Loftus]

This series aims to simplify the process of selecting an Rx burst
function for the i40e, iavf and ice drivers. Three main simplifications
are made:
1. enforcing the same rx burst function for both primary and secondary
processes.
2. using a common function for determining the maximum SIMD width based
on compiler flags, CPU flags and user-defined limits.
3. using a common function for selecting the rx burst function based on
maximum SIMD width, function features (flex desc, scattered, bulk alloc)
and requested rx offloads.

Bruce Richardson (1):
  net/intel: introduce common vector capability function

Ciara Loftus (13):
  net/ice: use the same Rx path across process types
  net/iavf: rename Rx/Tx function type variables
  net/iavf: use the same Rx path across process types
  net/i40e: use the same Rx path across process types
  net/ice: use the new common vector capability function
  net/iavf: use the new common vector capability function
  net/i40e: use the new common vector capability function
  net/iavf: remove redundant field from iavf adapter struct
  net/intel: introduce infrastructure for Rx path selection
  net/ice: remove unsupported Rx offload
  net/ice: use the common Rx path selection infrastructure
  net/iavf: use the common Rx path selection infrastructure
  net/i40e: use the common Rx path selection infrastructure
