It shall remain experimental till both: a- we agree that DPDK could be used as a PF, which I do not believe is a good option, it has been argued within previous email, but let's keep thinking about it ; b- assuming a-, the kernel includes exactly the same definition of messages+features for its PF. The VF messages and PF messages shall remain with the experimental status for any x message that is not supported by the kernel's PF. The PF side of the DPDK implementation may be removed some days.
