+    inform PMD about about reduced range of packet types to handle.
+  * This scheme will allow PMDs to avoid lookup to internal ptype table on Rx
+    and thereby improve Rx performance if application wishes do so.

 * **Updated the enic driver.**
 
   * Added support for Geneve with options offload.
