 Deprecation Notices

+* eal: the following functions are deprecated starting from 17.05 and will

+  - ``rte_set_log_level``, replaced by ``rte_log_set_global_level``
+  - ``rte_get_log_level``, replaced by ``rte_log_get_global_level``
+  - ``rte_set_log_type``, replaced by ``rte_log_set_level``

-* ABI changes are planned for 17.05 in the ``rte_mbuf`` structure: some fields
-  may be reordered to facilitate the writing of ``data_off``, ``refcnt``, and
-  ``nb_segs`` in one operation, because some platforms have an overhead if the
-  store address is not naturally aligned. Other mbuf fields, such as the
-  ``port`` field, may be moved or removed as part of this mbuf work. A
-  ``timestamp`` will also be added.
-
 * The mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated and
   are respectively replaced by PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED and
   PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED, that are better described. The old flags and
   their behavior will be kept until 17.02 and will be removed in 17.05.
 
-* mempool: The functions ``rte_mempool_count`` and ``rte_mempool_free_count``
-  will be removed in 17.05.
-  They are replaced by ``rte_mempool_avail_count`` and
-  ``rte_mempool_in_use_count`` respectively.

-* mempool: The functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated
-  and will be removed in 17.05.
-  It is replaced by ``rte_mempool_generic_get/put`` functions.

   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most

-* vhost: API/ABI changes are planned for 17.05, for making DPDK vhost library
-  generic enough so that applications can build different vhost-user drivers
-  (instead of vhost-user net only) on top of that.
-  Specifically, ``virtio_net_device_ops`` will be renamed to ``vhost_device_ops``.
-  Correspondingly, some API's parameter need be changed. Few more functions also
-  need be reworked to let it be device aware. For example, different virtio device
-  has different feature set, meaning functions like ``rte_vhost_feature_disable``
-  need be changed. Last, file rte_virtio_net.h will be renamed to rte_vhost.h.
-
 * ABI changes are planned for 17.05 in the ``rte_cryptodev_ops`` structure.
   A pointer to a rte_cryptodev_config structure will be added to the
   function prototype ``cryptodev_configure_t``, as a new parameter.
