The V2 change is for vdev handling by the representor PMD as the vdev 
API location changed from DPDK 17.08 to 17.11. So, V2 patch mainly a 
rebased against DPDK 17.11.

Since, none of the initial NICs (i40e, ixgbe) is using switch_domain for 
the moment, we are dropping the switch_domain from these patch set. It 
is expected to be address in future patchset with switchdev support.
