If the default is the one I expect then I'm fine without having an
option (actually happier - less things to configure).
But in Debian/Ubuntu it's dpdk-MAJORVER-drivers since last January :-)
We changed because using a single directory creates problems when
multiple different ABI versions are installed, due to the EAL autoload
from that directory. So we need a different subdirectory per ABI
revision.
We were actually talking with Timothy a while ago to make this
consistent across our distros, and perhaps Marco can chip in as well.
Timothy, Marco, is using dpdk-MAJORVER-$something ok for you? I'm not
too fussy on $something, it can be drivers or pmds or something else.
