From: Huisong Li <lihuis...@huawei.com>
Currently, base and nb_queue in the tc_rxq and tc_txq information
of queue and TC mapping on both TX and RX paths are uint8_t.
However, these data will be truncated when queue number under a TC
is greater than 256. So it is necessary for base and nb_queue to
change from uint8_t to uint16_t.

cc'ed tech-board,
The patch breaks the ethdev ABI without a deprecation notice from previous
release(s).
It is increasing the storage size of the fields to support more than 255 queues.
Since the ethdev library already heavily breaks the ABI this release, I am for
getting this patch, instead of waiting for one more year for the update.
Can you please review the patch, is there any objection to proceed with it?
