[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] service: enable app lcore to run service iter

[Harry van Haaren <harry.van.haaren@intel.com>]

This patchset enables an application lcore (non-service core) to
run an iteration of a service. This is useful in a variety of cases,
from advanced applications to unit-testing. A second function is added
to allow the application to disable the check that a service-core is
mapped to a service, in the return value from runstate_get(). This
function passes responsibility to the application to run the service
as required, allowing the first function to actually be of use. See
the second commit message for details.

This patchset is in response to rework on the Eventdev SW PMD tests[1],
which made it clear that there is a need for applications to be able
to run exactly one iteration of a service exactly when required.

Regards, -Harry
