The main distro using 4.9 is Debian Stretch and it is no longer supported. When DPDK 22.11 is released, the 4.9 kernel would only be receiving fixes for three months; therefore lets make the official version 4.14. As always, current major enterprise Linux releases will continue to be supported, but those releases don't track regular kernel version numbering.
