I agree as well. It is difficult to review.
The order should be:
1. ulp_ddp interface
2. nvme-tcp changes
3. mlx5e changes

Also even beyond grouping patches together I have 2 requests:
1. Please consolidate ddp routines under a single ifdef (also minimize
the ifdef in call-sites).
2. When consolidating functions, try to do this as prep patches
documenting in the change log that it is preparing to add ddp. Its
difficult digesting both at times.
