Olivier, What do you think?
No strong opion but Can we please close/agree on API? I don't want to
keep rebasing and pushing new variant in every other version, This whole
series and its dependent series ie..octeontx PMD/FPA PMD taregeted for -rc1-v17.11 release
therefore if we close on api and get it reviewed by this week, would really appreciate.
Thanks.
