Hi Jerin,

thanks for driving this. In terms of the common code framework, when
would you see that you might have something to upstream for that? As you
know, we've been working on a software implementation which we are now
looking to move to the eventdev APIs, and which also needs this common
code to support it. 

If it can accelerate this effort, we can perhaps provide as an RFC
the common code part that we have implemented for our work, or else we
are happy to migrate to use common code you provide if it can be
upstreamed fairly soon.

Regards,
/Bruce
