Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your comments.  Please see my answers to your questions below.

> First question: What is the use case of DPDK on s390x?

IBM would like to use DPDK in our new IBM cloud offering on Z.



> Second question: How is it tested? Do you have any CI?

We ran the tests by "make tests".  We don't have CI set up at the moment
but this is definitely something we are looking into adding.



> Third question: Do you have time to dedicate to DPDK?

After this initial port, we do plan to keep currency base on need but how
frequent will be determined by usage.



> If yes, why not helping with IBM Power?

Our work is specific to Z offering, we'll be interested to run CI for Z
also which will help maintaining our currency.


How is CI set up on the platforms currently supported in DPDK?  It looks
like a build gets run after a patch is submitted.  Wondering if there are
any documentation on how this is set up?

Thanks.
