[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] event/dlb2: remove references to deferred scheduling

[Timothy McDaniel <timothy.mcdaniel@intel.com>]

Deferred scheduling is a DLB v1.0 feature, and is not valid for
DLB v2.0 or v2.5.

 This sequence is not supported because the event device must be reconfigured
 before its ports or queues can be.
 
-Deferred Scheduling
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The DLB PMD's default behavior for managing a CQ is to "pop" the CQ once per
-dequeued event before returning from rte_event_dequeue_burst(). This frees the
-corresponding entries in the CQ, which enables the DLB to schedule more events
-to it.
-
-To support applications seeking finer-grained scheduling control -- for example
-deferring scheduling to get the best possible priority scheduling and
-load-balancing -- the PMD supports a deferred scheduling mode. In this mode,
-the CQ entry is not popped until the *subsequent* rte_event_dequeue_burst()
-call. This mode only applies to load-balanced event ports with dequeue depth of
-1.
-
-To enable deferred scheduling, use the defer_sched vdev argument like so:
-
-    .. code-block:: console
-
-       --vdev=dlb2_event,defer_sched=on
