[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/7] eventdev: remove event schedule API for SW driver

[Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>]

The software event dev is a centralized software scheduler and needs
`rte_event_schedule` to be called repeatedly in order to distribute the
events. In most cases, this requires a dedicated lcore to achieve this.

With the introduction to the rte_service concept, software eventdev
driver can register event distribution as a service component and
offload it to a service core. Thus removing the requirement of calling
`rte_event_schedule` explicitly and abstracts the differences between
HW and SW PMD to provide a single interface to the application.
