Thank you for raising this important concern. 
To confirm: Our vendor driver (NBL PMD) is actively being upstreamed to DPDK. This patch is required for its coexistence implementation. We kindly request to merge this foundational change first to enable the driver submission.
We will follow up with the full NBL driver code within 4 weeks. 
Thank you for your consideration.

The words "vendor driver" have me worried.
Is this a PMD that is being incorporated into DPDK or some out
of tree driver. If it is out of tree, such changes will be summarily rejected.
We don't accept changes that are unused in tree.
