Hi,

02/01/2018 13:57, Shreyansh Jain:
> A device is DPDK has a flavor to it - ethernet, crypto, event etc.

I don't understand this sentence.
I guess it can be completely removed.

You should explain that it uses some opaque pointers.

Please add an entry in MAINTAINERS with EXPERIMENTAL tag.

Sorry, no time to review the code myself.
