Adds the basic probing infrastructure to support the flower firmware.
Adds the basic infrastructure needed by the flower firmware to operate.
The firmware requires threads to service both the PF vNIC and the ctrl
vNIC. The PF is responsible for handling any fallback traffic and the
ctrl vNIC is used to communicate various control messages to and
from the smartNIC. rte_services are used to facilitate this logic.
Adds the cpp service, used for some user tools.
