This patch documents removed functionality.

* eventdev: Type of 2nd parameter to ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_caps_get()``
has been changed from uint8_t to uint16_t.
+* KNI, when ethtool support enabled (``CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL=y``)
+ ethtool commands ``ETHTOOL_GSET & ETHTOOL_SSET`` are no more supported for the
+ kernels that has ``ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS & ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS`` support.
+ This means ``ethtool "-a|--show-pause", "-s|--change"`` won't work, and
+ ``ethtool <iface>`` output will have less information.
