The patch introduces a new PMD. This PMD is implemented as thin wrapper
of librte_vhost. It means librte_vhost is also needed to compile the PMD.
The PMD can have 'iface' parameter like below to specify a path to connect
to a virtio-net device.

$ ./testpmd -c f -n 4 --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/sock0' -- -i

To connect above testpmd, here is qemu command example.

$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
        <snip>
        -chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/sock0 \
        -netdev vhost-user,id=net0,chardev=chr0,vhostforce \
        -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0

Lots of minor nits from checkpatch...

Sorry for that. I forgot that I have disabled the checkpatch.pl testing
of my submitting script.
I will fix them, and submit it again.
