Most of these changes does not seem to fix a bug or an API break.
Before -rc1, we can take them for the sake of cleaning.
But after -rc1, we must take only fixes.
If I understand well, the urgent fix to make in -rc2 is to revert
an API break without prior notice. Which change is it? rte_devtype?
The plan is to fix hotplug/devargs while integrating failsafe in -rc2.
After releasing -rc2, we must agree on the planned clean-up and be sure
that the right deprecation notices are in 17.08.
Then we will integrate all these patches in August for 17.11.
