[dpdk-dev] [RFC v2 0/6] Remove IPC threads

[Anatoly Burakov]

As previously discussed [1], IPC threads need to be removed and their
workload moved to interrupt thread.

The transition is complete as far as Linux support is concerned, however
since there is no interrupt thread on FreeBSD, this patchset effectively
disables IPC on FreeBSD for now (hence it still being an RFC and not a v1).

Work on adding interrupt thread to FreeBSD is in progress.
