[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: deprecation notice for sched changes

[Reshma Pattan]

From: Jasvinder Singh <jasvinder.singh@intel.com>

Add deprecation note for making changes in data structures, APIs and
macros in order to increase the traffic classes, flexible mapping of
pipe queues to traffic classes, subport level configuration of
pipes, queues sizes, etc.

Hi,

More  details needs to be added to deprecation note which are not clear yet, so self NACK.
