[dpdk-dev] Patch merges for 1.8 release

[Bruce Richardson]

Hi Thomas,

I'm just wondering what the expected timeline is for you starting to merge patches in for the 1.8 release? As you have 
probably seen, I have quite a number of outstanding patches submitted for mbufs, and I'm wonder when the "part 1" set,
which by now has been pretty well reviewed and ack'ed, might be merged to the mainline? I'm loath to start upstreaming
drafts of part 3 patches at this stage, because the depth of the backlog I'm building up just increases the amount
of work I have to do for any mainline changes that require me to do changes on rebase.

Thanks,
/Bruce

I was very busy last week with DPDK summit and IDF.
Now I'm back and I'm cleaning up the patchwork tool (before availability
announcement in a couple of days).
Then the goal of the next days is to make a -rc1 tag with all the patches
which are ready and properly reviewed.
The mbuf changes are first in my list.
