SyncE Userspace Support through Linux Kernel DPLL Subsystem

Socket-Direct multi-PF Netdev

[ConnectX-6 DX and above with socket direct support] Added support to create single netdev abstraction for multiple socket-direct PFs of the same port that run on multiple NUMA nodes. This single netdev handles traffic locally on each of the NUMA nodes, without upper layer complexities. This improves the applications' locality and performance in a multi-NUMA system.
