+* **Support device multi-process hotplug.**
+
+  Hotplug and hot-unplug for devices will now be supported in multiprocessing
+  scenario. Any ethdev devices created in the primary process will be regarded
+  as shared and will be available for all DPDK processes. Synchronization
+  between processes will be done using DPDK IPC.

+
+  The vdpa sample application creates vhost-user sockets by using the
+  vDPA backend. vDPA stands for vhost Data Path Acceleration which utilizes
+  virtio ring compatible devices to serve virtio driver directly to enable
+  datapath acceleration. As vDPA driver can help to set up vhost datapath,
+  this application doesn't need to launch dedicated worker threads for vhost
+  enqueue/dequeue operations.
