[dpdk-dev] remaining deprecation notices

[Thomas Monjalon]

Stephen, Cristian,
There are 2 remaining deprecation notices:

* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
  RED actions.

* librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port                                        
  and table action handlers will be updated:
  the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
  either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.

Shall we remove them?

Due to the delay in applying the packet framework patches to dpdk.org mainline, we decided to postpone the implementation for this deprecation notice for release 2.3 in order to avoid an unpredictable negative effect on performance. We plan to do this work for 2.3 while keeping a close eye on performance impact, so let's keep this deprecation notice for now, thanks!
