PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED, that are better described. The old flags and
their behavior will be kept until 17.08 and will be removed in 17.11.
+* mempool: The following will be modified in 17.11:
+
+ - ``rte_mempool_xmem_size`` and ``rte_mempool_xmem_usage`` need to know
+ the mempool flag status so adding new param rte_mempool in those API.
+ - Removing __rte_unused int flag param from ``rte_mempool_generic_put``
+ and ``rte_mempool_generic_get`` API.
+ - ``rte_mempool`` flags data type will changed from int to
+ unsigned int.
+
* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.11.
Instead, the ``rte_eth_txmode`` structure will be extended with
bit field to enable each Tx offload.
Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
+* ethdev: The device flag advertizing hotplug capability
+ ``RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE`` is not needed anymore and will be removed in
+ v17.11.
+ This capability is verified upon calling the relevant hotplug functions in EAL
+ by checking that the ``unplug`` ops is set in the bus. This verification is
+ done by the EAL and not by the ``ethdev`` layer anymore. Users relying on this
+ flag being present only have to remove their checks to follow the change.
+
* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
