-  The following functions are deprecated starting from v17.11 and are replaced:
-
-  - ``eal_parse_pci_BDF`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_parse``
-  - ``eal_parse_pci_DomBDF`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_parse``

 * dpaa2: removal of ``rte_dpaa2_memsegs`` structure which has been replaced
   by a pa-va search library. This structure was earlier being used for holding
   memory segments used by dpaa2 driver for faster pa->va translation. This
   structure would be made internal (or removed if all dependencies are cleared)
   in future releases.
 
-* net: The Ethernet address and header definitions will change
-  attributes. The Ethernet address struct will no longer be marked as
-  packed since the packed attribute is meaningless on a byte
-  array. The Ethernet header will be marked as aligned on a 2-byte
-  boundary and will no longer have the packed attribute. This allows
-  for efficient access on CPU architectures where unaligned access is
-  expensive. These changes should not impact normal usage because drivers
-  naturally align the Ethernet header on receive and all known
-  encapsulations preserve the alignment of the header.
