[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] Eventdev ABI changes for DLB/DLB2

This series implements the eventdev ABI changes required by
the DLB and DLB2 PMDs. This ABI change was announced in the
20.08 release notes [1]. This patch was initially part of
the V1 DLB PMD patchset.

The DLB hardware does not conform exactly to the eventdev interface.
1) It has a limit on the number of queues that may be linked to a port.
2) Some ports are further restricted to a maximum of 1 linked queue.
3) It does not (currently) have the ability to carry the flow_id as part
of the event (QE) payload.

Due to the above, we would like to propose the following enhancements.

1) Add new fields to the rte_event_dev_info struct. These fields allow
the device to advertize its capabilities so that applications can take
the appropriate actions based on those capabilities.

2) Add a new field to the rte_event_dev_config struct. This field allows
the application to specify how many of its ports are limited to a single
link, or will be used in single link mode.

3) Replace the dedicated implicit_release_disabled field with a bit field
of explicit port capabilities. The implicit_release_disable functionality
is assigned to one bit, and a port-is-single-link-only attribute is
assigned to another, with the remaining bits available for future
assignment.

Major changes since V1:
Reworded commit message, as requested
Fixed errors reported by clang
Added blub to relnotes announcing the changes contained in this patch
Removed ABI deprecation announcement
Resolved patch apply issues when applying to eventdev-next
Combined ABI patch and app/examples patch to remove dependencies

Testing showed no performance impact due to the flow_id template code
added to test app.
