Microsoft DPDK 23.07 Release Roadmap

1. Atomics Abstraction

Introduce atomics abstraction to DPDK, allowing DPDK and applications to
optionally use standard C11 atomics. The work is initially targeted for
the DPDK release 23.07 and opens the opportunity for DPDK to be used on
a wider range of platform and toolchain combinations.

2. MSVC Toolchain Progressive Enablement (Initial Phase)

The initial work package targeting the DPDK release 23.07 introduces
changes to establish use of the toolchain/platform.  The enablement of
the MSVC toolchain is intended to permit expansion of the DPDK user
base, who are currently constrained by security, compliance, and
servicing requirements in their operating environments.

Note:

Once the initial series is merged this roadmap notice will be updated
to reflect additional series contributing toward the initial phase. In
alignment with the Windows port policy & limitations [1], the scope of
changes introduced in patch series is limited and the work is being
done in pieces to minimize potential impact on existing
platform/toolchain combinations.
