This patchset adds support for DPDK v17.11:
- the first patch introduces minor code updates to accomodate DPDK API
  changes, and also updates Documentation and travis scripts.
- the second patch adds a new vhost-user port option,
  vhost-iommu-support; this is required in order to take advantage of
  the vHost IOMMU feature introduced in DPDK v17.11.

Note that the previous RFC version of this patch (Acked x2) is here:
https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-November/340731.html.

Hi Folks,,

I'm anxious to get support for DPDK 17.11 into OVS with DPDK for the 2.9 release.

I'm going to propose a pull request as of next week including this patch set, I would like to see people test their features in terms of compatibility before then and review the patch.

I know from the Intel side there has been extensive testing. There has also been a sign off as regards dev and integration testing from Red Hat.

I will raise this as an item at next week's community sync meeting. Would appreciate any feedback between now and then.

Thanks
Ian
