[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/5] net/i40e: remove limit of i40e_xmit_pkts_vec burst size

[Zhiyong Yang]

To add a wrapper function i40e_xmit_pkts_vec_simple to remove the
limit of tx burst size. The patch makes i40e vec function an best
effort to transmit the pkts in the consistent behavior like
i40e_xmit_pkts_simple and i40e_xmit_pkts do that.
