> This PMD adds basic support for Mellanox ConnectX-4 (mlx5) families of
> 10/25/40/50/100 Gb/s adapters through the Verbs framework.
> 
> Its design is very similar to that of mlx4 from which most of its code is
> borrowed without the mistake of putting it all in a single huge file.
> 
> It is disabled by default due to its dependency on libibverbs.
> 
> Changes in v2:
> - Removed useless port inactive warning.
> - Simplified code by replacing configured MAC addresses RX queue bit-field
>   with flow pointer checks.
> - Replaced allmulti/promisc status bits with request bits to fix
>   inconsistencies when restoring these modes.
> - Updated comments about maximum number of MAC addresses and VLAN filters.
> - Improved performance with better prefetching.
> - Fixed deadlock in case of error during port start.
> - Simplified VLAN filtering configuration storage using a basic list instead
>   of a table (with holes).

Applied, thanks
