Re: [dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to LTS release 16.11.9

[Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@samsung.com>]

Hi Luca,
Regarding commit 705dced4a ("net/virtio: avoid annoying IOPL error log").
This annoying message itself exists since very old times, but it's not
really printed until v18.02 where the logging system was changed.
So, I think, you may skip the patch for backporting to 16.11.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
