   The new API add rss_level field to ``rte_eth_rss_conf`` to enable a choice
   of RSS hash calculation on outer or inner header of tunneled packet.
 
-* ethdev:  Currently, if the  rte_eth_rx_burst() function returns a value less
-  than *nb_pkts*, the application will assume that no more packets are present.
-  Some of the hw queue based hardware can only support smaller burst for RX
-  and TX and thus break the expectation of the rx_burst API. Similar is the
-  case for TX burst as well as ring sizes. ``rte_eth_dev_info`` will be added
-  with following new parameters so as to support semantics for drivers to
-  define a preferred size for Rx/Tx burst and rings.
-
-  - Member ``struct preferred_size`` would be added to enclose all preferred
-    size to be fetched from driver/implementation.
-  - Members ``uint16_t rx_burst``,  ``uint16_t tx_burst``, ``uint16_t rx_ring``,
-    and ``uint16_t tx_ring`` would be added to ``struct preferred_size``.

 * ethdev: A work is being planned for 18.05 to expose VF port representors
   as a mean to perform control and data path operation on the different VFs.
   As VF representor is an ethdev port, new fields are needed in order to map
   between the VF representor and the VF or the parent PF. Those new fields
   are to be included in ``rte_eth_dev_info`` struct.
 
-* ethdev: The prototype and the behavior of
-  ``dev_ops->eth_mac_addr_set()`` will change in v18.05. A return code
-  will be added to notify the caller if an error occurred in the PMD. In
-  ``rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set()``, the new default MAC address
-  will be copied in ``dev->data->mac_addrs[0]`` only if the operation is
-  successful. This modification will only impact the PMDs, not the
-  applications.
-
 * i40e: The default flexible payload configuration which extracts the first 16
   bytes of the payload for RSS will be deprecated starting from 18.02. If
   required the previous behavior can be configured using existing flow
   director APIs. There is no ABI/API break. This change will just remove a
   global configuration setting and require explicit configuration.
-
-* ring: The alignment constraints on the ring structure will be relaxed
-  to one cache line instead of two, and an empty cache line padding will
-  be added between the producer and consumer structures. The size of the
-  structure and the offset of the fields will remain the same on
-  platforms with 64B cache line, but will change on other platforms.
