Thanks Thomas.=20

Bruce, Ferruh can you comment whether bumping ABI version is required for _=
_rte_experimental API? Arguably the documentation may be interpreted either=
 way : https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-18.08/contributing/versioning.html=20

In the specific case of bbdev change in that serie, note that only new oper=
ations (for 5GNR signal processing) and related symbols are being added.=20
Previous releases included BBDEV API changes without updating ABI version n=
umber ( librte_bbdev.so.1).=20

Thanks for letting me know, in both cases we may make it more explicit on t=
he versioning page.=20
