This series is a handover from Jen's "[PATCH v4 00/20]
implement packed virtqueues", which only implements the
vhost side. Virtio PMD implementation will follow in a 
next series.

The series applies on top of previous reworks I posted
during this cycle that merges mergeable and non-mergeable
receive paths, and refactors transmit path to re-use
vector buffers.

I haven't run performance tests for now as the Virtio PMD
side isn't ready.

The series has been tested with Tiwei's series implementing
packed ring support to Kernel's virtio-net driver, and
with Wei series implementing the Qemu side.

To test it, I have used testpmd on host side with a vhost
vdev and a tap vdev forwarding to each other. Transferts
of big random files have been done in both ways with
integrity verified.

Tests have been run with Rx mrg ON/OFF and events suppression
ON/OFF.

Tests have also been run with legacy spli ring layout to
ensure no regression have been introduced.
