20.11.7 patches review and test

[Jiang, YuX]

Hi Luca,

1, Compilation error compiling dpdk with vm_power_manager sample app  
- Not fixed yet, but also not too bad and thereby does not block release.
2, vf_interrupt_pmd/nic_interrupt_VF_vfio_pci: l3fwd-power Wake up failed on X722 37d0
- Find on DPDK22.11, it has fix patch: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20221117065726.277672-1-kaisenx.you@intel.com/
- Patch is not merged into main, its fix can be applied on LTS20.11.7-rc1 and tested passed.
- The patch has comment, Intel Dev is still under confirming, but not too bad and thereby does not block release.
3, inline ipsec: test failed on LTS20.11.7-rc1  -- Fixed on latest stable 20.11
4, latest stable 20.11 also found build issue: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1061
-  Apply the patch https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=21.11&id=125a65cb03f845d1b6d5f7078670aa1a49d62513 on latest LTS20.11, test passed.
