Several ports may share the same PCI address, like nfp representor.
So we cannot add this type of ports to bonding port by "--vdev"
argument in dpdk-testpmd. But the port's data name is unique between
them, we include an option to add such ports to the bonding port.
After adding this feature, we can create a bonding port that member
port is this type of port by "--vdev" in dpdk-testpmd start command.
For example:
dpdk-testpmd -l 2-10 -s 0x8 -a ca:00.0,representor=[0-2]
--vdev 'net_bonding0,member=flower_repr_p0,member=flower_repr_p1,
mode=4,socket_id=1,xmit_policy=l34' -- -i
Note:
1. "ca:00.0" is nfp 4000 card.
2. "flower_repr_p0" and "flower_repr_p1" are nfp phy representor's
data name.
