[PATCH v2 0/3] iavf: LLDP ptype and AVX2 ctx paths

[Ciara Loftus]

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.

v2:
* Support both dynfield and ptype to preserve ABI
* Add deprecation notice for dynfield approach

Ciara Loftus (3):
  net/iavf: support LLDP Tx based on mbuf ptype or dynfield
  net/iavf: add AVX2 context descriptor Tx paths
