This series adds the missing flow for enabling the LRO in the ethdev and
adds a support for this feature in the ixgbe PMD. There is a big hope that this
initiative is going to be picked up by some Intel developer that would add the LRO support
to other Intel PMDs. ;)

The series starts with some cleanup work in the code the final patch (the actual adding of
the LRO support) is going to touch/use/change. There are still quite a few issues in the ixgbe
PMD code left but they have to be a matter of a different series and I've left a few "TODO" 
remarks in the code.

The LRO ("RSC" in Intel's context) PMD completion handling code follows the same design as the
corresponding Linux and FreeBSD implementation: pass the aggregation's cluster HEAD buffer to
the NEXTP entry of the software ring till EOP is met.

HW configuration follows the corresponding specs: this feature is supported only by x540 and
82599 PF devices.

The feature has been tested with seastar TCP stack with the following configuration on Tx side:
   - MTU: 400B
   - 100 concurrent TCP connections.

The results were:
   - Without LRO: total throughput: 0.12Gbps, coefficient of variance: 1.41%
   - With LRO:    total throughput: 8.21Gbps, coefficient of variance: 0.59%
