Yes - the reason I ask is because the process we follow for the stable
releases is to tag commits that are backported with the commit ID of
the patch that was merged into dpdk/master, for tracking.
And also, for patches that to into dpdk/master, we wait to merge until
the version to dpdk/master is merged first.
