From: Tomasz Kulasek <tomaszx.kulasek@intel.com>

Add support for hardware flow classification of LACP control plane
traffic to be redirect to a dedicated receive queue on each slave which
is not visible to application. Also enables a dedicate transmit queue
for LACP traffic which allows complete decoupling of control and data
paths.

This only applies to bonding devices running in mode 4
(link-aggegration-802.3ad).

Introduce two new APIs to support enable/disabled of dedicated
queues.

- rte_eth_bond_8023ad_dedicated_queues_enable
- rte_eth_bond_8023ad_dedicated_queues_disable

rte_eth_bond_8023ad_dedicated_queues_enable must be called before
bonding port is configured or started to reserved and configure the
dedicated queuesh.

When this option is enabled all slaves must support flow filtering 
by ethernet type and support one additional tx and rx queue on 
each slave.

This line is not required.

And this should be DPDK_16.07, otherwise breaking shared build.

I will fix above ones while applying.
