[PATCH v6 0/2] Add Tx queue mapping of aggregated ports

[Jiawei Wang <jiaweiw@nvidia.com>]

When multiple ports are aggregated into a single DPDK port,
(example: Linux bonding, DPDK bonding, failsafe, etc.),
we want to know which port is used for Rx and Tx.

This patch introduces the new ethdev API
rte_eth_dev_map_aggr_tx_affinity(), it's used to map a Tx queue
with an aggregated port of the DPDK port (specified with port_id),
The affinity is the number of the aggregated port.
Value 0 means no affinity and traffic could be routed to any
aggregated port, this is the default current behavior.

The maximum number of affinity is given by rte_eth_dev_count_aggr_ports().

This patch allows to map a Rx queue with an aggregated port by using
a flow rule. The new item is called RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_AGGR_AFFINITY.

While uses the aggregated affinity as a matching item in the flow rule,
and sets the same affinity value by call
rte_eth_dev_map_aggr_tx_affinity(), then the packet can be sent from
the same port as the receiving one.
The affinity numbering starts from 1, then trying to match on
aggr_affinity 0 will result in an error.

* Update the rte_eth_dev_count_aggr_ports description.

v5:
* Adds rte_eth_dev_map_aggr_tx_affinity() to map a Tx queue to an aggregated port.
* Adds rte_eth_dev_count_aggr_ports() to get the number of aggregated ports.
* Updates the flow item RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_AGGR_AFFINITY.

v4:
* Rebase the latest code
* Update new field description
* Update release release note
* Reword the commit log to make clear

v3:
* Update exception rule
* Update the commit log
* Add the description for PHY affinity and numbering definition
* Add the number of physical ports into device info
* Change the patch order 

v2: Update based on the comments
