[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] net/i40e: fix missing Port Representor data-path

[Remy Horton <remy.horton@intel.com>]

This patch adds Rx and Tx burst functions to the i40e Port
Representors, so that the implementation within this PMD
can be tested using applications such as testpmd which
require data-path functionality.

Fixes: e0cb96204b71 ("net/i40e: add support for representor ports")
