Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
+* vhost: API/ABI changes are planned for 17.05, for making DPDK vhost library
+ generic enough so that applications can build different vhost-user drivers
+ (instead of vhost-user net only) on top of that.
+ Specifically, ``virtio_net_device_ops`` will be renamed to ``vhost_device_ops``.
+ Correspondingly, some API's parameter need be changed. Few more functions also

+ has different feature set, meaning functions like ``rte_vhost_feature_disable``
+ need be changed. Last, file rte_virtio_net.h will be renamed to rte_vhost.h.
