>=20
> This patch set modifies the Soft NIC device driver to use the Packet
> Framework, which makes it much more modular, flexible and extensible
> with new functionality.
>=20
> * The Soft NIC allows building custom NIC pipelines in SW. The Soft NIC
>   pipeline is DIY and reconfigurable through "firmware" (DPDK Packet
>   Framework script).
> * Configured through the standard DPDK ethdev API (including flow,
>   QoS, security). The internal framework is not externally visible.
> * Key benefits:
>   - Can be used to augment missing features to HW NICs.
>   - Allows consumption of advanced DPDK features without
>     redesigning the target application.
>   - Allows out-of-the-box performance boost of DPDK.
>     consumers apps simply by instantiating this Ethernet device.

Applied on next-pipeline tree, thanks!
