[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] doc: remove ABI changes in igb_uio

[Jianfeng Tan <jianfeng.tan@intel.com>]

We announced ABI changes to remove iomem and ioport mapping in
igb_uio. But it has potential backward compatibility issue: cannot
run old version DPDK on modified igb_uio.

The purpose of this changes was to fix a bug: when DPDK app crashes,
those devices by igb_uio are not stopped either DPDK PMD driver or
igb_uio driver. We need to figure out new way to fix this bug.

Fixes: 3bac1dbc1ed ("doc: announce iomem and ioport removal from igb_uio")

 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
-* igb_uio: iomem mapping and sysfs files created for iomem and ioport in
-  igb_uio will be removed, because we are able to detect these from what Linux
-  has exposed, like the way we have done with uio-pci-generic. This change
-  targets release 17.02.
-
 * ABI/API changes are planned for 17.02: ``rte_device``, ``rte_driver`` will be
   impacted because of introduction of a new ``rte_bus`` hierarchy. This would
   also impact the way devices are identified by EAL. A bus-device-driver model
