From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.pura...@broadcom.com>
Adding support for device reset and recovery events in the
rte_eth_event framework. FW error and FW reset conditions would be
managed internally by PMD without needing application intervention.
In such cases, PMD would need reset/recovery events to notify application
that PMD is undergoing a reset.

The PMD itself should not call rte_eth_dev_reset(). The PMD can trigger
the application to handle reset event. It is duty of application to
handle all synchronization before it calls rte_eth_dev_reset().

+Error recovery support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When the PMD detects a FW reset or error condition, it will try to recover
+from the error without needing the application intervention. In such cases,
+PMD would need events to notify the application that it is undergoing
+an error recovery.
+
+The PMD will trigger RTE_ETH_EVENT_ERR_RECOVERING event to notify the
+application that PMD detected a FW reset or FW error condition. PMD will
+try to recover from the error by itself. Data path will be halted and
+control path operations would fail during the recovery period.
+
+The PMD will trigger RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERED event to notify the application
+that the it has recovered from the error condition. Control path and data path
+are up now. Since the device undergone a reset, flow rules offloaded prior to
+the reset will be lost and the application has to recreate the rules again.
