+  parameter directly, or indirectly via a "private" pointer inside another
+  structure, will be modified to take an additional parameter of the
+  structure size. The affected APIs will include ``rte_rawdev_info_get``,
+  ``rte_rawdev_configure``, ``rte_rawdev_queue_conf_get`` and
+  ``rte_rawdev_queue_setup``.

 * traffic manager: All traffic manager API's in ``rte_tm.h`` were mistakenly made
   ABI stable in the v19.11 release. The TM maintainer and other contributors have
   agreed to keep the TM APIs as experimental in expectation of additional spec
