[PATCH v4 00/10] new ioring PMD

[Stephen Hemminger]

This is a new simplified TAP device that uses the Linux kernel
ioring API to provide a read/write ring with kernel.

This is split from tap device because there are so many
unnecessary things in existing tap, and supporting ioring is
better without ifdefs etc. The default name of the tap
device is different that other uses in DPDK but the driver
tries to keep the same relevant devargs as before.

This driver will only provide features that match what kernel
does, so no flow support etc. The next version will add checksum
and multi-segment packets. Some of the doc files may need update
as well.
