Hi Neil,
Thanks for this and apologies in advance for making more work for you but
it would be good to have a short section in the Contributors Guide on how
to add/check experimental APIs. I think the information in this cover
letter could be repurposed along with a few code and shell examples.
Probably as a new high level section in the Contributors Guides:
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/index.html
Thanks,
John
