This driver is too big, its style do not comply with the DPDK coding style,
there is no git history (drop all in 2 patches), there is no documentation,
no BSD support and it has no maintainer.
However, any new driver is welcome and can get a chance to live in the DPDK
repository. That's why it has been applied.
But next changes must be clean, even if it implies a big refactoring.
In case its maintenance cause problems and no declared maintainer can help,
it will be dropped.

It has not been tested with all supported compilers. Please be prepare to
fix the compilation shortly.
