This series implements real multiport for better user experience.
The existing driver creates one ethdev/port for one PCI device.
As the CESNET-NDK based cards aren't capable to represent each
Ethernet port by own PCI device, new driver implementation
processes real port configuration from firmware/card and switches
from rte_eth_dev_pci_generic_probe to multiple rte_eth_dev_create calls.
---
v3:
* Polished int type usage of QueueID for libnfb API.
* Used rte_calloc instead of rte_malloc.
* Moved queue_map_*x from pmd_internals to pmd_priv.
* Removed RTE_ASSERT for error checking.
* Used RTE_BIT for mask and interger limit constants.
* Added check of return value of nfb_nc_*xmac_init.
* Added release notes entry.
Depends-on: series-37064 ("net/nfb: code cleanup")
