  - Only x540 and 82599 devices support LRO.
    - Add the appropriate HW configuration.
    - Add RSC aware rx_pkt_burst() handlers:
       - Implemented bulk allocation and non-bulk allocation versions.
       - Add LRO-specific fields to rte_eth_rxmode, to rte_eth_dev_data
         and to igb_rx_queue.
       - Use the appropriate handler when LRO is requested.

Signed-off-by: Vlad Zolotarov <vladz@cloudius-systems.com>
---
New in v4:
   - Define RTE_ETHDEV_HAS_LRO_SUPPORT in rte_ethdev.h instead of
     RTE_ETHDEV_LRO_SUPPORT defined in config/common_linuxapp.

New in v2:
   - Removed rte_eth_dev_data.lro_bulk_alloc.
   - Fixed a few styling and spelling issues.

The last digit is reserved for maintenance.
LRO should be merged in 2.1.0.
By the way, why removing this macros when it's integrated? I think it would
be a good idea to start using this kind of macro for new API.
It's better than version checking because it supports backports.
Opinion?

> +#define RTE_ETHDEV_HAS_LRO_SUPPORT

Is it the right location to define it?
Is it better than defining it just above one of the new fields or at the
beginning of the file?

I agree. I was just under the impression that u hate macros in general 
(like I do). ;)  That's why I put this reminder... ;)
But  I agree that in situations like this having a macro defining a 
specific API presence is a good practice.

I vote for a beginning of the file. If we have more like these having 
them spread across the file would make it hard to track Especially when 
one macro is responsible for more than one API line.
