Re: [RFC PATCH v2 1/5] librte_ether: add internal callback functions

add _rte_eth_dev_callback_process_vf function.
add _rte_eth_dev_callback_process_generic function

Adding a callback to the user application on VF to PF mailbox message,
allows passing information to the application controlling the PF
when a VF mailbox event message is received, such as VF reset.
