[dpdk-dev] [RFC-PATCH-v3 0/6] pktdev update

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

Following on from the feedback received from the community about the pktdev idea,
I've decided not to push this approach further for DPDK 2.1. 

Instead, for future releases, I'll look at taking some of what was investigated in
this work and see if it can be applied to the existing ethdev library, which seems
to be the favoured point of convergence in the community. Hopefully, we can get
ethdev to meet all the requirements I had looked for for pktdev. [If not, I may
need to come back to look at this again, but I hope not! :-)]

For the sake of completeness, I'm also sending out my latest, and final, draft set
of patches for pktdev, in case Marc, or someone else, wishes to take this further
right now. As I've said, for the time being, I'm going to switch focus to ethdev.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Regards,
/Bruce
