[spp] [PATCH v2 0/7] introduce pipe PMD

[Yasufumi Ogawa]

> 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"
> receives 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.
Applied, thanks.
