+* ethdev: New offload flags ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_RSS_HASH`` and
+  ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK`` will be added in 19.11.
+  This will allow application to enable or disable PMDs from updating
+  ``rte_mbuf::hash::rss`` and ``rte_mbuf::hash::fdir`` respectively.
+  This scheme will allow PMDs to avoid writes to ``rte_mbuf`` fields on Rx and
+  thereby improve Rx performance if application wishes do so.
+  In 19.11 PMDs will still update the fields even when the offloads are not
+  enabled.
+
+* ethdev: New function ``rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes`` will be added in
+  19.11.
+  This will allow application to request PMD to set specific ptypes defined
+  through ``rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes`` in ``rte_mbuf::packet_type``.
+  If application doesn't want any ptype information it can call
+  ``rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes(ethdev_id, RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN)`` and PMD
+  will set ``rte_mbuf::packet_type`` to ``0``.
+  If application doesn't call ``rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes`` PMD can
+  return ``rte_mbuf::packet_type`` with ``rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes``.
+  If application is interested only in L2/L3 layer, it can inform the PMD
+  to update ``rte_mbuf::packet_type`` with L2/L3 ptype by calling
+  ``rte_eth_dev_set_supported_ptypes(ethdev_id, RTE_PTYPE_L2_MASK | RTE_PTYPE_L3_MASK)``.
+  This scheme will allow PMDs to avoid lookup to internal ptype table on Rx and
+  thereby improve Rx performance if application wishes do so.
+
+* ethdev: New 32-bit fields may be added for maximum LRO session size, in
+  struct ``rte_eth_dev_info`` for the port capability and in struct
+  ``rte_eth_rxmode`` for the port configuration.
 
 * cryptodev: support for using IV with all sizes is added, J0 still can
   be used but only when IV length in following structs ``rte_crypto_auth_xform``,
