[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce Vhost dequeue zero-copy removal

[Maxime Coquelin]

Vhost-user dequeue zero-copy support will be removed in
20.11. The only known user is OVS where the feature is
still experimental, and has not received any update for
several years. This feature faces reliability issues and
is often conflicting with new features being implemented.

Hi, the topic was discussed during OVS-DPDK public meeting
on July 22nd. Ian, if you had time to discuss the topic with
your team and agree with the removal, please ack the patch.
If, not please let me know.
