Commit Message

Suanming Mou July 15, 2020, 3:59 a.m. UTC
  Add the internal mlx5 memory management functions:

mlx5_malloc_mem_select();
mlx5_rellaocate();
mlx5_malloc();
mlx5_free();

User will be allowed to manage memory from system or from rte memory
with the unified functions.

In this case, for the system with limited memory which can not reserve
lots of rte hugepage memory in advanced, will allocate the memory from
system for some of not so important control path objects based on the
sys_mem_en configuration.
