Deprecation Notices ------------------- +* The ethdev hotplug API is going to be moved to EAL with a notification + mechanism added to crypto and ethdev libraries so that hotplug is now + available to both of them. This API will be stripped of the device arguments + so that it only cares about hotplugging. + +* Structures embodying pci and vdev devices are going to be reworked to + integrate new common rte_device / rte_driver objects (see + http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-January/031390.html). + ethdev and crypto libraries will then only handle those objects so that they + do not need to care about the kind of devices that are being used, making it + easier to add new buses later. + * The EAL function pci_config_space_set is deprecated in release 16.04 and will be removed from 16.07.
