[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] increase port_id range

port_id is currently defined as uint8_t, which is limited to the range 0 to 255. A larger range is required for vdev scalability. It is necessary for a redefinition of port_id to extend it from 1 bytes to 2 bytes. All ethdev APIs and usages related to port_id will be changed at the same time. Bel
