If hardware drops the event(s), I assume enqueue_burst would still return nb_events and the app behaves as if all events were sent. If the enqueue fails (ret < nb_events), app software could check rte_errno and take the action it deems necessary. So all fast-path enqueue code could look like:

I was concerned about this section of the application code get bloated with
drivers specific actions. But, If we want the actions based on per event then
I think, it makes sense to update the specification with new rte_errno values
for enqueue.
