Hi Ori, Thomas and Ferruh,

Could you please help to review it?

Thanks.

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

> For example, there're two physical ports connected to a single DPDK port (port

> Use the below commands to config tx phy affinity for per Tx Queue:
>         port config 0 txq 0 affinity 1
>         port config 0 txq 1 affinity 1
>         port config 0 txq 2 affinity 2
>         port config 0 txq 3 affinity 2
> 
> These commands config the Tx Queue index 0 and Tx Queue index 1 with phy
> affinity 1, uses Tx Queue 0 or Tx Queue 1 send packets, these packets will be
