Hi all,

Here is a new stable release:
	http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-16.11.6.tar.xz

The git tree is at:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/

This stable release fixes CVE-2018-1059, all users of the vhost library
are strongly encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.

Know issues: compilation with VHOST_DEBUG is currently broken, will be
fixed in a followup release.
