There are few things that worry me with that patch:
1. We add new config variable and add extra dependency here.
Usually we try not to do that without really compelling reason.
2. We pollute rte_ethdev with the code that has nothing to do with
it major functionality.
That makes me wonder why this vtune data collection has to be done
inside rx_burst() function?
Why it can't be done on the application layer, i.e. straight after rx_burst()
is finished?
Something like:
n = rte_eth_rx_burst(port, queue, ....);
itt_rx_collect_data(port, queue, n, ....);
?
Or as alternative, user can install this vtune collection routine as
rx callback function.
