[spp] [PATCH 0/7] introduce pipe PMD

[Itsuro Oda]

pipe PMD provides a device named spp_pipe which communicates
using rings allocated by spp_primary.
For example spp_pipe0 made with devargs "rx=ring:0,tx=ring:1"
recieves packets from ring:0 and sends packets to ring:1.
spp_pipe enables high-speed communication between an application
and other application or SPP secondary processes (ex. spp_nfv)
using rings.
Note that an application using spp_pipe must be a secondary
process under spp_primary.

This series of patches add the part of driver. CLI and REST
API to request to make spp_pipe devices will be provided
by following patches. The document will be provided by
following patches too.
