A quick update, we initially targeted 16.11 as the DPDK release this API
would be available for, turns out this goal was somewhat too optimistic as
September is ending and we are about to overshoot the deadline for
integration (basically everything took longer than expected, big surprise).

So instead of rushing things now to include a botched API in 16.11 with no
PMD support, we simply modified the target, now set to 17.02. On the plus
side this should leave developers more time to refine and test the API
before applications and PMDs start to use it.

I intend to send the patchset for the first non-draft version mid-October
worst case (ASAP in fact). I still haven't replied to several comments but
did take them into account, thanks for your feedback.
