[PATCH v2 0/2] add new PHY affinity in the flow item and Tx queue API

[Jiawei Wang <jiaweiw@nvidia.com>]

For the multiple hardware ports connect to a single DPDK port (mhpsdp),
currently, there is no information to indicate the packet belongs to
which hardware port.

This patch introduces a new phy affinity item in rte flow API, and
the phy affinity value reflects the physical phy affinity of the
received packets.

This patch adds the tx_phy_affinity setting in Tx queue API, the affinity value
reflects packets be sent to which hardware port.

While uses the phy affinity as a matching item in the flow, and sets the
same affinity on the tx queue, then the packet can be sent from the same
hardware port with received.

RFC: http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/cover/20221221102934.13822-1-jiaweiw@nvidia.com/

The PMD patch will be sent soon.
