[PATCH v4 00/24] Reduce code duplication across Intel NIC drivers

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

This RFC attempts to reduce the amount of code duplication across a
number of Intel NIC drivers, specifically: ixgbe, i40e, iavf, and ice.

The first patch extract a function from the Rx side, otherwise the
majority of the changes are on the Tx side, leading to a converged Tx
queue structure across the 4 drivers, and a large number of common
functions.

v3->v4:
* Add patches 23 & 24 to set, to do a little more dedupliation on
  Rx side

v2->v3:
* Fix incorrect/unadjusted memset in patch 8, leading to incorrect
  threshold tracking in ixgbe.

v1->v2:
* Fix two additional checkpatch issues that were flagged.
* Added in patch 21, which performs additional cleanup that is possible
  once all vector drivers use the same mbuf free/release process.
  [This brings the patchset to having over twice as many lines removed
  as added (1887 vs 930), and close to having a net removal of 1kloc]

RFC->v1:
* Moved the location of the common code from "common/intel_eth" to
  "net/_common_intel", and added only ".." to the driver include path so
  that the paths included "_common_intel" in them, to make it clear it's
  not driver-local headers.
* Due to change in location, structure/fn prefix changes from "ieth" to
  "ci" for "common intel".
* Removed the seeming-arbitrary split of vector and non-vector code -
  since much of the code taken from vector files was scalar code which
  was used by the vector drivers.
* Split code into separate Rx and Tx files.
* Fixed multiple checkpatch issues (but not all).
* Attempted to improve name standardization, by using "_vec" as a common
  suffix for all vector-related fns and data. Previously, some names had
  "vec" in the middle, others had just "_v" suffix or full word "vector"
  as suffix.
* Other minor changes...
