From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavat...@marvell.com>
Add `rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes` function that will allow the
application to inform the PMD the packet types it is interested in.
Based on the ptypes set PMDs can optimize their Rx path.
-If application doesn’t want any ptype information it can call
`rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes(ethdev_id, RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN)` and PMD
may skip packet type processing and set rte_mbuf::packet_type to
RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN.
-If application doesn’t call `rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes` PMD can
return `rte_mbuf::packet_type` with `rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes`.
-If application is interested only in L2/L3 layer, it can inform the PMD
to update `rte_mbuf::packet_type` with L2/L3 ptype by calling
`rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes(ethdev_id,
RTE_PTYPE_L2_MASK | RTE_PTYPE_L3_MASK)`.

=========================================================
+* **Added ethdev API to set supported packet types**
+
+ * Added new API ``rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes`` that allows an
+ application to inform PMD about packet types classification the
application
+ is interested in
+ * This scheme will allow PMDs to avoid lookup to internal ptype table on Rx
+ and thereby improve Rx performance if application wishes do so.
