[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/4] add RegEx class

[Ori Kam]

This patch set adds the RegEx class, which enables RegEx pattern
matching, both on HW/SW PMDs.

Example for applications that will benefit from this class:
* Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW)
* Deep Packet and Flow Inspection (DPI)
* Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)
* DDoS Mitigation
* Network Monitoring
* Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
* Smart NICs
* Grammar based content processing
* URL, spam and adware filtering
* Advanced auditing and policing of user/application security policies
* Financial data mining - parsing of streamed financial feeds
* Application recognition.
* Dmemory introspection.
* Natural Language Processing (NLP)
* Sentiment Analysis.
* Big data databse acceleration.
* Computational storage. 

This patch set is based on RFC[1]

This class should be merged only after there is at least
one PMD that implements it. Also the test application will
be added when the first PMD is added.
