[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/7] ethdev: add set ptype function

[<pbhagavatula@marvell.com>]

From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

Add `rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes` function that will allow the
application to inform the PMD the packet types it is interested in.
Based on the ptypes set PMDs can optimize their Rx path.

-If application doesn’t want any ptype information it can call
`rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes(ethdev_id, RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN, NULL, 0)`
and PMD may skip packet type processing and set rte_mbuf::packet_type to
RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN.

-If application doesn’t call `rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes` PMD can
return `rte_mbuf::packet_type` with `rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes`.

-If application is interested only in L2/L3 layer, it can inform the PMD
to update `rte_mbuf::packet_type` with L2/L3 ptype by calling
`rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes(ethdev_id,
		RTE_PTYPE_L2_MASK | RTE_PTYPE_L3_MASK, NULL, 0)`.
