True - worth cleaning up.
> This patch also fixes example/eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd as it doesn't
> convert RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_*_ONLY to RTE_SCHED_TYPE_* which leads to
> improper events being enqueued to the eventdev.

We should note here, that SCHED_TYPE are integer values:
#define RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ORDERED 0
#define RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ATOMIC 1
#define RTE_SCHED_TYPE_PARALLEL 2
While the EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_ types were bitmasks (before being removed in this patch)
#define RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_ATOMIC_ONLY (1ULL << 0)
#define RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_ORDERED_ONLY (2ULL << 0)
#define RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_PARALLEL_ONLY (3ULL << 0)
#define RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_SINGLE_LINK (1ULL << 2)
I'm not against this change - but we must be careful that if there was any bit-masking being used previously,
that that will subtly have broken if we change to sched types. I'm reviewing with that in mind..
The RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_ALL_TYPES config flag now means that all SCHED_TYPEs
are valid. Previously this was contained in the bitmask.. this may lead to issues.
See patch 2/3, where *only* the schedule_type is read, and returned. What if it the "ALL_TYPES" flag is
set on the queue? It will be reported wrongly. Currently there is no integer value for "ALL_TYPES",
so we cannot represent "ALL TYPES" in the return value from get_attr().
Am I explaining my reasoning clearly enough?
The patch correctly leaves QUEUE_CFG_SINGLE_LINK as a bitmask, so that bit is ok.

<snip> Remaining diff was updating the QUEUE_CFG to SCHED_TYPE </snip>
