[v2,00/11] example/l3fwd: introduce event device support

  From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

This patchset adds support for event mode in l3fwd.
The poll mode is still the default mode of operation.

The following new command line parameters are added:
 --mode: Dictates the mode of operation either poll or event. If unset then
         by default poll mode is used.
 --eventq_sched: Dictates event synchronization mode i.e. either ordered,
		 atomic or parallel.

Based on event device capability the configuration is done as follows:
    - A single event device is enabled.
    - The number of event ports is equal to the number of worker
      cores enabled in the core mask. Additional event ports might
      be configured based on Rx/Tx adapter capability.
    - The number of event queues is equal to the number of ethernet
      ports. If Tx adapter doesn't have internal port capability then
      an additional single link event queue is used to enqueue events
      to Tx adapter.
    - Each event port is linked to all existing event queues.
    - Dedicated Rx/Tx adapters for each Ethernet port.

v2 Changes:
----------
- Shorten the structure name `s/event_rsrc/evt_rsrc` `s/l2fwd_rsrc/rsrc`.
- Use rte_panic instead of rte_exit.
- Rebase on top of Tx adapter change http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/60971.
- Add parallel mode support.
- Fix missing eventdev args parsing.

Since there is no maintainer for l3fwd and tech board decided to have
a unified l3fwd application
for poll mode and event mode, I request to have the review for the
common code change(at least 8/11 and 9/11
patches). This series has been pushed from the last release to this
release to have enough review.
We would like to merge this patch for this release. Request a timely review.
