 * mbuf: The opaque ``mbuf->hash.sched`` field will be updated to support generic

   In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue offloads.
   Offloads are disabled by default and enabled per application request.
 
-  The old ethdev - drivers offload interface will be deprecated on 18.05.
-  This includes:
-  - removal of the conversion in ethdev from new offloading API to old API for drivers.

   In later releases the old offloading API will be deprecated, which will include:
   - removal of ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*`` flags.
   - removal of ``txq_flags`` field from ``rte_eth_txconf`` struct.

   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most

-* ethdev: A new rss level field planned in 18.05.
-  The new API add rss_level field to ``rte_eth_rss_conf`` to enable a choice

-* ethdev: A work is being planned for 18.05 to expose VF port representors
-  as a mean to perform control and data path operation on the different VFs.
-  As VF representor is an ethdev port, new fields are needed in order to map
