[PATCH v2 0/4] net/ice: support outer checksum in vector Tx

[Anurag Mandal <anurag.mandal@intel.com>]

V2-changes:
 - Addressed Bruce Richardson's comments
 - Put the MACLEN assignments on single lines.
 - Only encode EIPLEN when an outer IP type (EIPT) was selected, 
   matching how iavf sets eip_len per protocol case.
 - Returned success instead of a partially built context when
   the tunnel type is not supported, so a half-completed 
   context descriptor can never be written.
 - Recorded use_ctx and use_vec_entry in one place only. The 
   duplicate use_vec_entry assignment in ice_tx_queue_start() is
   removed; ice_set_tx_function() runs before any queue is started
   and now covers every queue, matching iavf. This also fixes DCF
   queues, which never passed through ice_tx_queue_start() and so
   never had use_vec_entry recorded.
 - Declared .ctx_desc = true for the scalar path, which does emit
   context descriptors, so it is not filtered out of path selection
   when a context descriptor is requested. Matches IAVF_TX_DEFAULT.
 - Folded the ctx_desc condition into the req_features initializer.
 - Marked the new AVX2 and AVX-512 context Tx helpers 
   with __rte_always_inline so the compile-time offload flag 
   is folded, as for the existing ice_vtx()/ice_vtx1() helpers.

Added AVX2 and AVX-512 context descriptor Tx paths 
for outer IPv4 and UDP checksum offloads, 
avoiding scalar Tx fallback.

Anurag Mandal (4):
  net/common: share Tx context descriptor flag
  net/ice: add vector tunnel context encoding
  net/ice: add AVX2 context descriptor Tx path
  net/ice: add AVX-512 context descriptor Tx path
