[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/6] ethdev: add descriptor status API

[Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>]

Introduce a new API to get the status of a descriptor.

For Rx, it is almost similar to rx_descriptor_done API, except it
differentiates "used" descriptors (which are hold by the driver and not
returned to the hardware).

For Tx, it is a new API.

The descriptor_done() API, and probably the rx_queue_count() API could
be replaced by this new API as soon as it is implemented on all PMDs.
