Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: add enhanced multi-packet send for ConnectX-5

ConnectX-5 supports enhanced version of multi-packet send (MPS). An MPS Tx
descriptor can carry multiple packets either by including pointers of
packets or by inlining packets. Inlining packet data can be helpful to
better utilize PCIe bandwidth. In addition, Enhanced MPS supports hybrid
mode - mixing inlined packets and pointers in a descriptor. This feature is
enabled by default if supported by HW.
