> Good points -- I hadn't considered the ABI impact of modifying rte_eventdev. rte_eventdev_data is in shared memory, though, so it's not multi-process friendly for function pointers. How about putting it in rte_eventdev_ops?

Yes. Make sense to move to rte_eventdev_ops. But need to take care
updating the those function pointers in secondary process.
