This patch implements rte_power_monitor API in virtio PMD to reduce
power consumption when no packet come in. According to current semantics
of power monitor, this commit adds a callback function to decide whether
aborts the sleep by checking current value against the expected value and
virtio_get_monitor_addr to provide address to monitor. When no packet come
in, the value of address will not be changed and the running core will
sleep. Once packets arrive, the value of address will be changed and the
running core will wakeup.
A minor comment but instead of patch title mentioning what is implemented,
better to describe what feature is added, like:
net/virtio: support power monitor

The release note updates are grouped as described in the documents section
comment, and in a group it is sorted alphabetically, can you please re-arrange
the update accordingly. And similar comment, instead of documenting what API
implemented, you can mention what support is added.
Same comment for other patches in the set.
