[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 00/10] net/mlx5: add port representor support

[Adrien Mazarguil]

This series adds support for port (VF) representors to the mlx5 PMD, which
can be instantiated using the standard "representor" device parameter.

Note the PMD only probes existing representors which exist as Verbs devices;
their creation is part of the host system configuration.

v5 changes:

- Fixed and added missing HAVE_* definitions to Makefile for systems that do
  not expose them. Series now compiles fine down to RHEL 7.2 inclusive.

v4 changes:

- Fixed domain ID release that did not work, see relevant patch.
- Rebased series.

v3 changes:

- Added the following patches:
  - net/mlx5: drop useless support for several Verbs ports
  - net/mlx5: probe port representors in natural order
  - net/mlx5: support negative identifiers for port representors
- See individual patches for details.
- Rebased series.

v2 changes:

- See individual patches for details.
- Rebased series.
