[PATCH] doc: announce mbuf fast free configuration requirements

["Morten Brørup" <mb@smartsharesystems.com>]

For TX mbuf fast release offload, the mbuf mempool pointer will be added
to the ethdev tx queue configuration structure, so the ethdev TX burst
operation doesn't need to fetch it from the first mbuf of each burst being
fast free'd to the mempool.

 * 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.

+* ethdev: Configuring a transmit queue for fast mbuf release will
+  require specifying which mempool to free the mbufs to.
+  For this, a new field ``struct rte_mempool *mp_fast_free`` will be
+  added to ``struct rte_eth_txconf``, and must be set when the
+  ``RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE`` offload flag is set.
