+* eventdev: The file ``rte_eventdev_pmd.h`` will be renamed to ``eventdev_driver.h``
+  to make the driver interface as internal and the structures ``rte_eventdev_data``,
+  ``rte_eventdev`` and ``rte_eventdevs`` will be moved to a new file named
+  ``rte_eventdev_core.h`` in DPDK 21.11.
+  The ``rte_`` prefix for internal structures and functions will be removed across the

+  support future extensions.

 * eventdev: The structure ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_conf`` will be
