[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/5] New Reorder Library

[Sergio Gonzalez Monroy <sergio.gonzalez.monroy@intel.com>]

This series introduces the new reorder library along with unit tests,
sample app and a new entry in the programmers guide describing the library.

The library provides reordering of mbufs based on their sequence number.

As mention in the patch describing the library, one use case is the
packet distributor.
The distributor receives packets, assigns them a sequence number and sends
them to the workers.
The workers process those packets and return them to the distributor.
The distributor collects out-of-order packets from the workers and uses
this library to reorder the packets based on the sequence number they
were assigned.

v3:
 - fix copyright date
 - add option to sample app to disable reordering
 - add packet ordering sample guide entry

v2:
 - add programmers guide entry describing the library
 - use malloc instead of memzone to allocate memory
 - modify create and init implementation, init takes a reorder buffer as input
   and create reserves memory and call init.
 - update unit tests
