The ConnectX NIC series hardware provides advanced internal
MMU option and can operate directly over virtual addresses,
the host software should not care about any virtual-to-physical
address translations. It means the mlx5 PMDs can operate in DPDK
IOVA VA (virtual address) mode transparently.

To force IOVA VA mode the DPDK should be built with meson option:

  enable_iova_as_pa=false

With this option only drivers supporting IOVA VA mode are enabled.
This patch marks mlx5 drivers with require_iova_in_mbuf flag false
value, thus allowing their compilation for IOVA VA mode.
