Deprecation Notices
-------------------
-* build: The ``enable_kmods`` option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
- Setting/clearing the option has no impact on the build.
- Instead, kernel modules will be always built for OS's where out-of-tree kernel modules
- are required for DPDK operation.
- Currently, this means that modules will only be built for FreeBSD.
- No modules are shipped with DPDK for either Linux or Windows.
-
* kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
