Subject: [EXT] [PATCH v3] eventdev: change Rx adapter callback and stats
structure

External Email

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace the mbuf pointer array in the event eth Rx adapter callback with an
event array. Using an event array allows the application to change attributes
of the events enqueued by the SW adapter.

The callback can drop packets and populate a callback argument with the
number of dropped packets. Add a Rx adapter stats field to keep track of the
total number of dropped packets.

This commit removes the experimental tags from the callback and stats APIs,
the experimental tag from eventdev is also removed and eventdev functions
become part of the main DPDK API/ABI.
