[dpdk-dev] closing version 2.0.0-rc1

[dpdk-dev] closing version 2.0.0-rc1

[Thomas Monjalon]

It is time to close the first release candidate for DPDK 2.0.
Then we are going to enter into the RC testing phase which was planned
from 23rd February to 13th March. Only fixes, and cleanups will be accepted.
At the end, the release should be out on 31st March.

This is the list of the integrated features:
	* ABI versioning
	* x32 ABI
	* non-eal thread supports
	* multi-pthread per core
	* jobstats library
	* reorder library
	* acl for AVX2
	* crc hash arch-independent
	* uio_pci_generic support
	* kni optimizations
	* vhost-user support
	* virtio (link, vlan, mac, port IO, perf)
	* ixgbevf RSS
	* i40e hash filtering
	* i40e nvgre offloading
	* i40e switch
	* fm10k driver
	* bonding mode 4 tests
	* bonding mode 6
	* Rx/Tx callbacks
	* unified flow types
	* remove old filtering API (flow director, flex, ethertype, syn, ntuple)
	* remove device arguments limit
	* add indirect attached mbuf flag
	* use default port configuration in testpmd
	* tunnel offloading in testpmd

Some missing features may still be integrated in the last minute run:
	* hotplug
	* mlx4 driver
	* interrupt mode
	* sched enhancements

Some other features were submitted too late or haven't been properly reviewed,
so they are postponed (deferred state in patchwork):
	* tile arch
	* ixgbe base update
	* i40e TSO
	* xen net-front driver
	* hyper-v driver
	* bnx2x driver
	* unified packet type

Thanks for your attention

I have a bunch more fixes to vmxnet3, but they are small.

Hi Thomas

For "unified packet type", it has been acked by Konstantin, and carefully reviewed by Oliver, and reviewed by Cunming, Bruce, Jingjing, etc.
The only open comment is that detailed description of each packet type should be added. I will complete it today and hopefully it can be in R2.0. Could you help to check it again and if it can be in R2.0? Thank you very much!

Regards,
Helin
