From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

Deprecate rte_dma_conf structure to allow for a more flexible
configuration of DMA devices.
The new structure will have a flags field instead of multiple
boolean fields for each feature.

 * bus/vmbus: Starting DPDK 25.11, all the vmbus API defined in
   ``drivers/bus/vmbus/rte_bus_vmbus.h`` will become internal to DPDK.
   Those API functions are used internally by DPDK core and netvsc PMD.

+* dmadev: The ``rte_dma_conf`` structure is updated to include a new field
+  ``rte_dma_conf::flags`` that should be used to configure dmadev features.
+  The existing field ``rte_dma_conf::enable_silent`` is removed and replaced
+  with the new flag ``RTE_DMA_CFG_FLAG_SILENT``, to configure silent mode
+  the flag should be set in ``rte_dma_conf::flags`` during device configuration.
