[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 1/3] net/af_xdp: enable zero copy by extbuf

[Xiaolong Ye <xiaolong.ye@intel.com>]

Implement zero copy of af_xdp pmd through mbuf's external memory
mechanism to achieve high performance.

This patch also provides a new parameter "pmd_zero_copy" for user, so they
can choose to enable zero copy of af_xdp pmd or not.

To be clear, "zero copy" here is different from the "zero copy mode" of
AF_XDP, it is about zero copy between af_xdp umem and mbuf used in dpdk
application.
