[dpdk-dev] [RFC v6] regexdev: introduce regexdev subsystem

[Wang Xiang]

Hi Ori,

Sorry for the late response as I am occupied by other works.
Two comments below to make the definitions compatible to Hyperscan.

Thanks,
Xiang

Can we change this flag to RTE_REGEX_DEV_CFG_MATCH_ALL since Hyperscan only supports
match all mode and users don't have to specify this flag per rule?

Can we add another flag RTE_REGEX_DEV_CFG_CROSS_BUFFER_SCAN_FULL_F? In this case,
we only return full match for cross buffer scan without any partial result and
without returning response flags such as RTE_REGEX_OPS_RSP_PMI_*.
