[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v10 1/3] i40e: support floating VEB config

[Zhe Tao <zhe.tao@intel.com>]

Add the new floating related argument option in the devarg.
Using this parameter, all the samples can decide whether to use legacy VEB/VEPA
or floating VEB.
To enable this feature, the user should pass a devargs parameter to the EAL
like "-w 84:00.0,enable_floatingVEB=1", and the application will make sure the PMD
will use the floating VEB feature for all the VFs created by this PF device.

All the VEB/VEPA concepts are not specific for FVL, they are defined in the
802.1Qbg spec.

But for floating VEB, it has two major difference.
1. doesn't has a up link connection which means
the traffic cannot go to ouside world.
2. doesn't need to connect to the phsical port which means
when the physical link is down the floating VEB can still works
fine.
