[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] pmdinfogen: rewrite in Python

[Dmitry Kozlyuk]

This patchset implements existing pmdinfogen logic in Python, replaces
and removes the old code. The goals of rewriting are:

* easier maintenance by using a more high-level language,
* simpler build process without host application and libelf.

Travis CI script is adjusted to install python3-pyelftools, but other CI
systems may need similar tweaking. Particularly, testing on FreeBSD and
big-endian targets is desired.

---
Changes in v3:

1. Rebase on ToT, add package to CI.
2. Add copyrights, fixup maintainers file.
3. Remove C implementation.

Changes in v2:

1. pyelftools is used instead of hand-written ELF parser.
2. Makefiles are adjusted.
3. f-strings replaced with % formatting to support Python 3.5.
4. Wrapper script does not hide stderr from ar and pmdinfogen.
