New OVS-DPDK testsuite, which can be launched via `make check-dpdk`,
tests OVS using a DPDK datapath. The testsuite contains already
initial tests:
 1. EAL init
 2. Add standard DPDK PHY port
 3. Add vhost-user-client port

Changed dpdk-socket-mem to the default value.

Thanks Marcin,

A few general comments.

1. You should add an entry to NEWS also in the post 2.9.0 section mentioning that DPDK test suite was added.

2. In testing this I used with both DPDK 17.11.0 and DPDK 17.11.1. It seems that the move to 17.11.1 breaks the eal and vhost user test (these pass with 17.11.0). As OVS recommends users use 17.11.1 I'd suggest testing against that to confirm if there is an issue.

3. The physical port test always fails on my system. Can you confirm this works for you? I'm testing with an XL710 device with pci slot attached to numa node 0. Are there any pre requisuites besides loading the igb_uio driver and attaching the pci device to it before running the test?

Thanks
Ian
