[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] Coding standards

[Bruce Richardson]

This patch adds a coding standards doc to DPDK, and is based off the original
version Siobhan posted earlier in the tools discussion. It's been cleaned up
a bit, and converted to the rst format to match the rest of the docs.

I've pulled in a lot of the feedback that people gave on the original version,
but I'm sure the discussion is going to continue on this.

When reviewing please remember: This document is designed to put in writing the
*existing* code guidelines for DPDK that are implied by the existing code. It is
*not* intended that we should have to make any across-the-board code changes as
the basis of this document until after it has been merged in - so if you are
suggesting something that is not already prevalent in DPDK code, please hold that
thought until after we get the existing style locked down! :-)

Also note that there are a few areas where the DPDK is itself not consistent*. This
is why there is the general overriding rule that code in each file must be
consistent to the rest of the file above all else.

* by "not consistent", I'm meaning where there is are more than just a few outliers
from the original style.
