[PATCH v11 0/4] User-space Ethtool

[Liang-Min Larry Wang <liang-min.wang@intel.com>]

This implementation is designed to provide a familar interface for applications that rely on kernel-space driver to support ethtool_op and net_device_op for device management. The initial implementation focuses on ops that can be implemented through existing netdev APIs. More ops will be supported in latter release.

v11 changes:
- Fixed a typo and clean coding style.
v10 changes:
- Merged const fix back to igb/ixgbe.
v9 changes:
- Fixed checkpatch errors.
v8 changes:
- Changed register tables to const.
v7 change:
- Remove rte_eth_dev_get_ringparam implementation
v6 change:
- Rebase to match new changes over librte_ether
v5 change:
- Change API name from 'leng' to 'length'
- Remove unused data structure rte_dev_vf_info
- Remove placeholder API rte_eth_dev_set_ringparam
- Clean up set_mac_addr implementation
v4 change:
- Add rte_eth_xxx apis and respective ops over igb and ixgbe
  to support ethtool and net device alike ops
- Add an example to demonstrate the use of ethtool library
v3 change:
- Fix a build issue
v2 change:
- Implement rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set through dev_ops::mac_addr_set so it would support NIC devices other than ixgbe and igb

Liang-Min Larry Wang (4):
  ethdev: add apis to support access device info
  ixgbe: add ops to support ethtool ops
  igb: add ops to support ethtool ops
