[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eal: fix libabi macro for device generalization patches

[Shreyansh Jain <shreyansh.jain@nxp.com>]

rte_device/driver generalization patches [1] were merged without a change
in the LIBABIVER macro. This patches bumps the macro of affected libs.

Also, deprecation notice from 16.07 has been removed and release notes for
16.11 added.

v2:
 - Mark bumped libraries in release_16_11.rst file
 - change code symbol names from text to code layout

+* **Improved device/driver heirarchy and generalized hotplugging**
+
+  Device and driver relationship has been restructured by introducing generic
+  classes. This paves way for having PCI, VDEV and other device types as
+  just instantiated objects rather than classes in themselves. Hotplugging too
+  has been generalized into EAL so that ethernet or crypto devices can use the
+  common infrastructure.
+
+  * removed ``pmd_type`` as way of segragation of devices
+  * added ``rte_device`` class and all PCI and VDEV devices inherit from it
+  * renamed devinit/devuninit handlers to probe/remove to make it more
+    semantically correct with respect to device<=>driver relationship
+  * moved hotplugging support to EAL
+  * helpers and support macros have been renamed to make them more synonymous
+    with their device types
+    (e.g. ``PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER`` => ``DRIVER_REGISTER_PCI``)
