Re: [dpdk-dev] 16.11.5 (LTS) patches review and test

[gowrishankar muthukrishnan <gowrishankar.m@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi Luca,
In powerpc to support i40e, we wish below patch be merged:

c3def6a8724 net/i40e: implement vector PMD for altivec

I have verified br-16.11 with the above commit (in cherry-pick, I needed 
to remove release
notes which was meant for 17.05 release which hope is fine here).
Could you please merge the above.

Thanks,
Gowrishankar
