1, VF Daemon (VFD)
VFD is an idea to control all the VFs from PF.
As we need to support the scenario kernel PF + DPDK VF,
DPDK follows the interface between kernel PF + kernel
VF.
We don't want to introduce too many new messages
between PF and VF.
So this patch set adds some new APIs to control VFs
directly from PF.
The new APIs include,
1) set VF MAC anti-spoofing
2) set VF VLAN anti-spoofing
3) set TX loopback
4) set VF unicast promiscuous mode
5) set VF multicast promiscuous mode
6) set VF MTU
7) get/reset VF stats
8) set VF MAC address
9) set VF VLAN stripping
10) VF VLAN insertion
12) set VF broadcast mode
12) set VF VLAN tag
13) set VF VLAN filter
VFD also includes VF to PF mailbox message management
by APP.
When PF receives mailbox messages from VF, PF should
call the callback provided by APP to know if they're
permitted to be processed.

2, Implement VF MAC address setting on VF.

- add new patches to configure VMDq.

v6:
- remove the support of DPDK PF + kernel VF. Will create a new patch set for it.
- reword the tittles of some patches.
- add sanity check for vsi, and other minor change.

v5:

v4:
- rebase on latest next-net
- move patch 10/29 testpmd part to patch 18/29

v3:

- remove patch for VDMq receive mode init
- move get/reset VF stats API into rte_pmd_i40

v2:
- fix the compile issues.
- fix the checkpatch warning and typo.
