[PATCH v2 5/5] ethdev: remove old offload API

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

From: Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yigit@intel.com>

In DPDK 17.11, the ethdev offloads API has changed:
	commit cba7f53b717d ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API")
	commit ce17eddefc20 ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
The new API is documented in the programmer's guide:
	http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.html#hardware-offload

For reminder, the main concepts in the new API were:
	- All offloads are disabled by default
	- Distinction between per port and per queue offloads.

The transition bits are now removed:
	- Translation of the old API in ethdev
	- rte_eth_conf.rxmode.ignore_offload_bitfield
	- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE

The old API bits are now removed:
	- Rx per-port rte_eth_conf.rxmode.[bit-fields]
	- Tx per-queue rte_eth_txconf.txq_flags
	- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*

   experimental API ``rte_pktmbuf_attach_extbuf()`` is used. Removal of the macro
   is to fix this semantic inconsistency.
 
-* ethdev: a new Tx and Rx offload API was introduced on 17.11.
-  In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue offloads.
-  Offloads are disabled by default and enabled per application request.
-
-  In later releases the old offloading API will be deprecated, which will include:
-  - removal of ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*`` flags.
-  - removal of ``txq_flags`` field from ``rte_eth_txconf`` struct.
-  - removal of the offloads bit-field from ``rte_eth_rxmode`` struct.
-
 * ethdev: In v18.11 ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` offload flag will be removed, default
   behavior without any flag will be changed to CRC strip.
   To keep CRC ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` flag is required.
