[RFC 1/2] eventdev: introduce event vector adapter

[<pbhagavatula@marvell.com>]

From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

The event vector adapter supports offloading creation of
event vectors by vectorizing objects (mbufs/ptrs/u64s).
Applications can create a vector adapter associated with
an event queue and enqueue objects to be vectorized.
When the vector reaches the configured size or when the timeout
is reached, the vector adapter will enqueue the vector to the
event queue.

+ * Event vector adapter API.
+ *
+ * An event vector adapter has the following working model:
+ *
+ *         ┌──────────┐
+ *         │  Vector  ├─┐
+ *         │ adapter0 │ │
+ *         └──────────┘ │

+ *         └──────────┘ │   └──────────┘
+ *         ┌──────────┐ │
+ *         │  Vector  ├─┘
+ *         │ adapter2 │
+ *         └──────────┘
+ *
+ *         ┌──────────┐
+ *         │  Vector  ├─┐
+ *         │ adapter0 │ │   ┌──────────┐
+ *         └──────────┘ ├──►│  Event   │

+ *         │ adapter1 │
+ *         └──────────┘
+ *
+ * - A vector adapter can be seen as an extension to event queue. It helps in
+ *   aggregating ptrs and generating a vector event which is enqueued to the
+ *   event queue.
+ *
+ * - Multiple vector adapters can be created on an event queue, each with its
+ *   own unique properties such as event properties, vector size, and timeout.
+ *   Note: If the target event queue doesn't support RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_ALL_TYPES,
+ *         then the vector adapter should use the same schedule type as the event
+ *         queue.
+ *
+ * - Each vector adapter aggregates ptrs, generates a vector event and
+ *   enqueues it to the event queue with the event properties mentioned in
+ *   rte_event_vector_adapter_conf::ev.
+ *
+ * - After configuring the vector adapter, Application needs to use the
+ *   rte_event_vector_adapter_enqueue() function to enqueue ptrs i.e.,
+ *   mbufs/ptrs/u64s to the vector adapter.
+ *   On reaching the configured vector size or timeout, the vector adapter
+ *   enqueues the event vector to the event queue.
+ *   Note: Application should use the event_type and sub_event_type properly
+ *         identifying the contents of vector event on dequeue.
+ *
+ * - If the vector adapter advertises the RTE_EVENT_VECTOR_ADAPTER_CAP_SOV_EOV
+ *  capability, application can use the RTE_EVENT_VECTOR_ENQ_[S|E]OV flags
+ *  to indicate the start and end of a vector event.
+ *  * When RTE_EVENT_VECTOR_ENQ_SOV is set, the vector adapter will flush any
+ *    aggregation in progress as a vector event and start aggregating a new
+ *    vector event with the enqueued ptr.
+ *  * When RTE_EVENT_VECTOR_ENQ_EOV is set, the vector adapter will add the
+ *    current ptr enqueued to the aggregated event and enqueue the vector event
+ *    to the event queue.
+ *  * If both flags are set, the vector adapter will flush the current aggregation
+ *    as a vector event and enqueue the current ptr as a single event to the event
+ *    queue.
+ *
+ * - If the vector adapter reaches the configured vector size, it will enqueue
+ *   the aggregated vector event to the event queue.
+ *
+ * - If the vector adapter reaches the configured vector timeout, it will flush
+ *   the current aggregation as a vector event if the minimum vector size is
+ *   reached, if not it will enqueue the ptrs as single events to the event
+ *   queue.
+ *
+ * - If the vector adapter is unable to aggregate the ptrs into a vector event,
+ *   it will enqueue the ptrs as single events to the event queue with the event
+ *   properties mentioned in rte_event_vector_adapter_conf::ev_fallback.
+ *
+ * Before using the vector adapter, the application has to create and configure
+ * an event device and based on the event device capability it might require
+ * creating an additional event port.
+ *
+ * When the application creates the vector adapter using the
+ * ``rte_event_vector_adapter_create()`` function, the event device driver
+ * capabilities are checked. If an in-built port is absent, the application
+ * uses the default function to create a new event port.
+ * For finer control over event port creation, the application should use
+ * the ``rte_event_vector_adapter_create_ext()`` function.
+ *
+ * The application can enqueue one or more ptrs to the vector adapter using the
+ * ``rte_event_vector_adapter_enqueue()`` function and control the aggregation
+ * using the flags.
+ *
+ * Vector adapters report stats using the ``rte_event_vector_adapter_stats_get()``
+ * function and reset the stats using the ``rte_event_vector_adapter_stats_reset()``.
+ *
+ * The application can destroy the vector adapter using the
+ * ``rte_event_vector_adapter_destroy()`` function.
