  The ethernet Tx adapter abstracts the transmit stage of an
event driven packet processing application. The transmit
stage may be implemented with eventdev PMD support or use a
rte_service function implemented in the adapter. These APIs
provide a common configuration and control interface and
an transmit API for the eventdev PMD implementation.

The transmit port is specified using mbuf::port. The transmit
queue is specified using the rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_txq_set()
function.

Overall it looks good to me.

Could you please add programmers guide in the next revision?

Some minor comments below.

Due to some reason, the generated doxygen file, does not show
RTE_EVENT_ETH_TX_ADAPTER_CAP_INTERNAL_PORT as hyperlink.

It make sense to have inline function to set and get txq so that mbuf
change wont have any visible impact.

But, Can we get ride of struct rte_event_tx_adapter_mbuf_queue
typecasting/indirection?

I prefer to use just pkt->hi and add comment in rte_mbuf.h, see rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_txq_set()
or add following without breaking anything on exiting scheme.

Reasons:
1) Additional indirection may result in additional instruction(s) in fastpath.
2) It is kind of hiding the mbuf usage on specific variable. So consumers
may get confused on the usage and it may hide problem when mbuf gets
changed as changes are not in one place.

With above changes:

Patch

=========

* Move port and tx queue id to mbuf from mbuf private area. (Jerin Jacob)

* Support for PMD transmit function. (Jerin Jacob)

* mbuf change has been replaced with rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_txq_set(). 
The goal is to align with the mbuf change for a qid field. 
(http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-February/090651.html). Once the mbuf
change is available, the function can be replaced with a macro with no impact
to applications.

* Various cleanups (Jerin Jacob)

V2:
==

* Add ethdev port to rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_caps_get() (Pavan Nikhilesh)

* Remove struct rte_event_eth_tx_adapter from rte_event_eth_tx_adapter.h
							(Jerin Jacob)

* Move rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_txq_set() to static inline,
  also add rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_txq_get().

* Remove adapter id from rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue(), also update
  eventdev PMD callback (Jerin Jacob)

* Fix doxy-api-index.md (Jerin Jacob)

* Rename eventdev_eth_tx_adapter_init_t to eventdev_eth_tx_adapter_create_t,
  Invoke it from rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_create()/create_ext()

* Remove the eventdev_eth_tx_adapter_event_port_get PMD callback, the event
  port is used by the application only in the case of the service function
  implementation.

* Add support for dynamic device (created after the adapter) in the service
  function implementation.
