* **Added non-EAL threads registration API.**
Added a new API to register non-EAL threads as lcores. This can be used by
applications to have its threads known of DPDK without suffering from the

non-EAL previous limitations in terms of performance.
* **rte_*mb APIs are updated to use DMB instruction for ARMv8.**
* **rte_*mb APIs are updated to use the DMB instruction for ARMv8.**
ARMv8 memory model has been strengthened to require other-multi-copy
atomicity. This allows for using DMB instruction instead of DSB for IO
barriers. rte_*mb APIs, for ARMv8 platforms, are changed to use DMB
atomicity. This allows for using the DMB instruction instead of DSB for IO
barriers. The rte_*mb APIs, for ARMv8 platforms, have changed to use the DMB
instruction to reflect this.
* **Added support for RTS and HTS modes into mempool ring driver.**
Added ability to select new ring synchronisation modes:
Added the ability to select new ring synchronisation modes:
``relaxed tail sync (ring_mt_rts)`` and ``head/tail sync (ring_mt_hts)``
via mempool ops API.

* **Added the support for vfio-pci new VF token interface.**
From Linux 5.7, vfio-pci supports to bind both SR-IOV PF and the created VFs,
it uses a shared VF token (UUID) to represent the collaboration between PF
and VFs. Update DPDK PCI driver to gain the access to the PF and VFs devices
by appending the VF token parameter.
