This patchset adds support for DPDK v17.11:
- the first patch introduces minor code updates to accomodate DPDK API
changes, and also updates Documentation and travis scripts.
- the second patch adds a new global configuration option,
vhost-iommu-support; this is required in order to take advantage of
the vHost IOMMU feature introduced in DPDK v17.11.
---
v3->v2: - clarify that IOMMU support applies exclusively to vhost user
client ports.
- reword caveats regarding modifying vhost-iommu-support at runtime
- use smap_get_bool() to parse vhost-iommu-support, instead of
process_vhost_flags().
- add stub implementation of dpdk_vhost_iommu_enabled().
- move stdbool.h #include outside of DPDK compiler guards.
- remove mention of vhost IOMMU mode from
netdev_dpdk_vhost_client_configure() log.
v2->v1: - refactor vHost IOMMU enablement mechanism (use a global config
value, instead of the previous per-port approach).
