Re: [dpdk-dev] [RFC v2] ethdev: introduce GENEVE header extension item

[Shiri Kuzin <shirik@nvidia.com>]

Due to many changes in ethdev in this release and since this feature has lower priority, it was decided to postpone it for now. 
We will consider having it as part of 21.02 release, I will send the new version then.
