[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] implement VXLAN/NVGRE Encap/Decap in testpmd

[Nelio Laranjeiro <nelio.laranjeiro@6wind.com>]

This series adds an easy and maintainable configuration version support for
those two actions for 18.08 by using global variables in testpmd to store the
necessary information for the tunnel encapsulation.  Those variables are used
in conjunction of RTE_FLOW_ACTION_{VXLAN,NVGRE}_ENCAP action to create easily
the action for flows.

A common way to use it:

 set vxlan ipv4 4 4 4 127.0.0.1 128.0.0.1 11:11:11:11:11:11 22:22:22:22:22:22
 flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap / queue index 0 / end

 set vxlan ipv6 4 4 4 ::1 ::2222 11:11:11:11:11:11 22:22:22:22:22:22
 flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap / queue index 0 / end

 set nvgre ipv4 4 127.0.0.1 128.0.0.1 11:11:11:11:11:11 22:22:22:22:22:22
 flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions nvgre_encap / queue index 0 / end

 set nvgre ipv6 4 ::1 ::2222 11:11:11:11:11:11 22:22:22:22:22:22
 flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions nvgre_encap / queue index 0 / end

This also replace the proposal done by Mohammad Abdul Awal [1] which handles
in a more complex way for the same work.

Note this API has already a modification planned for 18.11 [2] thus those
series should have a limited life for a single release.
