+Rx event vectorization for SW Rx adapter
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For SW based event vectorization, i.e., when the
+``RTE_EVENT_ETH_RX_ADAPTER_CAP_INTERNAL_PORT`` is not set in the adapter's
+capabilities flags for a particular ethernet device, the service function
+creates a single event vector flow for all the mbufs arriving on the given
+Rx queue.
+The 20-bit event flow identifier is set to 12-bits of Rx queue identifier
+and 8-bits of ethernet device identifier.
+Flow identifier is formatted as follows:
