====================
mlx5e XDP support

This series adds XDP support in mlx5e driver.
This includes the use cases: XDP_DROP, XDP_PASS, and XDP_TX.

Single stream performance tests show 16.5 Mpps for XDP_DROP,
and 12.4 Mpps for XDP_TX, with nice scalability for multiple streams/rings.

This rate of XDP_DROP is lower than the 32 Mpps we got in previous
implementation, when Striding RQ was used.

We moved to non-Striding RQ, as some XDP_TX requirements (like headroom,
packet-per-page) cannot be satisfied with the current Striding RQ HW,
and we decided to fully support both DROP/TX.

Few directions are considered in order to enable the faster rate for XDP_DROP,
e.g a possibility for users to enable Striding RQ so they choose optimized
XDP_DROP on the price of partial XDP_TX functionality, or some HW changes.

Thanks,

V2:
* patch 8:
 - when XDP_TX fails, call mlx5e_page_release and drop the packet.
 - update xdp_tx counter within mlx5e_xmit_xdp_frame.
   (mlx5e_xmit_xdp_frame return value becomes obsolete, change it to void)
 - drop the packet for unknown XDP return code.
* patch 9:
 - use a boolean for xdp_doorbell in SQ struct, instead of dragging it
   throughout the functions calls.
 - handle doorbell and counters within mlx5e_xmit_xdp_frame.
