Forgot about this one. Then it's better to remove it from copyright place then. @Guo, Junfeng

@Guo, Junfeng Can you update this? I think you can ask Qi's opinion.
If people want to keep the copyright, add one short sentence under copyright to explain what's changed.

In my opinion, there're many changes but those changes are only for adapting kernel code to DPDK.
I'm not sure that counts a lot or not and I think Intel's copyright can be removed for the base code.
Afterall, Intel's main contribution is ethdev part and dpdk datapath.
