+* ethdev: The device flag advertizing hotplug capability
+ ``RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE`` is not needed anymore and will be removed in
+ v17.11.
+ This capability is verified upon calling the relevant hotplug functions in EAL
+ by checking that the ``unplug`` ops is set in the bus. This verification is
+ done by the EAL and not by the ``ethdev`` layer anymore. Users relying on this
+ flag being present only have to remove their checks to follow the change.
