This patch set modifies the Soft NIC device driver to use the Packet
Framework, which makes it much more modular, flexible and extensible
with new functionality.
� The Soft NIC allows building custom NIC pipelines in SW. The Soft NIC
pipeline is DIY and reconfigurable through �firmware� (DPDK Packet
Framework script).
� Configured through the standard DPDK ethdev API (including flow,
QoS, security). The internal framework is not externally visible.
� Key benefits:
- Can be used to augment missing features to HW NICs.
- Allows consumption of advanced DPDK features without
redesigning the target application.
- Allows out-of-the-box performance boost of DPDK.
consumers apps simply by instantiating this Ethernet device.
Example: Create "Soft NIC" port with configuration defined
in �firmware� script file
--vdev 'net_softnic0,firmware=script.cli'
v2 changes:
- fix build warnings
- fix checkpatch warnings
