[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/3] add API's for VF management

[Bernard Iremonger]

This patchset contains new DPDK API's requested by AT&T for use
with the Virtual Function Daemon (VFD).

The need to configure and manage VF's on a NIC has grown to the
point where AT&T have devloped a DPDK based tool, VFD, to do this.

This patch set adds API extensions to DPDK VF configuration.

Eight new API's have been added for the Intel 82559 NIC.

Changes have been made to testpmd to facilitate testing of the new API's.
The testpmd documentation has been updated to document the testpmd changes.

Changes in v5:
rebase to latest master branch.
remove new API's from eth_dev_ops structure.
add public API's to ixgbe PMD.
revise testpmd commands for new API's

Changes in v4:
The rte_eth_dev_vf_ping API has been dropped as it is a work around for a bug.
The rte_eth_dev_set_vf_vlan_strip API has been renamed to
rte_eth_dev_set_vf_vlan_stripq.

Changes in v3:
rebase to latest master branch.
drop patches for callback functions
revise VF id checks in new librte_ether functions
revise testpmd commands for new API's

Changes in V2:
rebase to latest master branch.
fix compile  error with clang.

  librte_ether: add API for VF management
  net/ixgbe: add API's for VF management
  app/test_pmd: add tests for new API's
