[PATCH v3 0/3] iavf: LLDP ptype and AVX2 ctx paths

This series adds another way to detect LLDP packets in the Tx paths
of the iavf PMD, which is based on the mbuf packet type field. This is
in addition to the existing method of using a dynamic field. The series
also adds new AVX2 context descriptor Tx paths that support LLDP. Finally,
a deprecation notice is added to the documentation to flag that the
dynamic mbuf field method of LLDP packet detection will be removed in a
future release.

v3:
* Enable the ptype support via a new devarg enable_ptype_lldp

Ciara Loftus (3):
  net/iavf: support LLDP Tx via mbuf ptype or dynfield
  net/iavf: add AVX2 context descriptor Tx paths
  doc: announce change to LLDP packet detection in iavf PMD
