  Add API for enabling direct re-arm mode and for mapping RX and TX
queues. Currently, the API supports 1:1(txq : rxq) mapping.

Indirect calls are expensive, maybe better to combine these?

Thanks for your comment. I'm a little confused about this.

Whether 'expensive' is due to 'enable direct_rearm mode' and 'map queue' use
different api, and we should combine them into the same API.
If this, I think you are right, and just one api is enough to enable direct rearm mode and
map queue.

It's used in the control plane, so prefer readability over performance.

Also, the Ethdev API has separate _enable/_disable/_configure functions for many features like this. I would prefer the API to this feature to be similar, i.e. separate functions for enable and configure.

In other words: Disregard Stephen's comment about combining.
