+* mempool: several API and ABI changes are planned in v18.05.
+ The following functions, introduced for Xen, which is not supported
+ anymore since v17.11, are hard to use, not used anywhere else in DPDK.
+ Therefore they will be deprecated in v18.05 and removed in v18.08:
+
+ - ``rte_mempool_xmem_create``
+ - ``rte_mempool_xmem_size``
+ - ``rte_mempool_xmem_usage``
+
+ The following changes are planned:
+
+ - removal of ``get_capabilities`` mempool ops and related flags.
+ - substitute ``register_memory_area`` with ``populate`` ops.
+ - addition of new ops to customize required memory chunk calculation,
+ customize objects population and allocate contiguous
+ block of objects if underlying driver supports it.
