-* ring: Changes are planned to rte_ring APIs in release 17.05. Proposed
-  changes include:
-
-    - Removing build time options for the ring:
-      CONFIG_RTE_RING_SPLIT_PROD_CONS
-      CONFIG_RTE_RING_PAUSE_REP_COUNT
-    - Adding an additional parameter to enqueue functions to return the
-      amount of free space in the ring
-    - Adding an additional parameter to dequeue functions to return the
-      number of remaining elements in the ring
-    - Removing direct support for watermarks in the rings, since the
-      additional return value from the enqueue function makes it
-      unneeded
-    - Adjusting the return values of the bulk() enq/deq functions to
-      make them consistent with the burst() equivalents. [Note, parameter
-      to these functions are changing too, per points above, so compiler
-      will flag them as needing update in legacy code]
-    - Updates to some library functions e.g. rte_ring_get_memsize() to
-      allow for variably-sized ring elements.

-  A pointer to a rte_cryptodev_config structure will be added to the
