This series adds another way to detect LLDP packets in the Tx paths of the iavf PMD, which is based on the mbuf packet type field. This is in addition to the existing method of using a dynamic field. The series also adds new AVX2 context descriptor Tx paths that support LLDP. Finally, a deprecation notice is added to the documentation to flag that the dynamic mbuf field method of LLDP packet detection will be removed in a future release.
