remove it from the externally visible ABI and allow it to be updated in the
future.
-* vfio: removal of ``rte_vfio_dma_map`` and ``rte_vfio_dma_unmap`` APIs which
- have been replaced with ``rte_dev_dma_map`` and ``rte_dev_dma_unmap``
- functions. The due date for the removal targets DPDK 20.02.
-
* dpaa2: removal of ``rte_dpaa2_memsegs`` structure which has been replaced
by a pa-va search library. This structure was earlier being used for holding
memory segments used by dpaa2 driver for faster pa->va translation. This
structure would be made internal (or removed if all dependencies are cleared)
in future releases.
-* net: The Ethernet address and header definitions will change
- attributes. The Ethernet address struct will no longer be marked as
- packed since the packed attribute is meaningless on a byte
- array. The Ethernet header will be marked as aligned on a 2-byte
- boundary and will no longer have the packed attribute. This allows
- for efficient access on CPU architectures where unaligned access is
- expensive. These changes should not impact normal usage because drivers
- naturally align the Ethernet header on receive and all known
- encapsulations preserve the alignment of the header.
-
-* ethdev: The function ``rte_eth_dev_count`` will be removed in DPDK 20.02.
- It is replaced by the function ``rte_eth_dev_count_avail``.
- If the intent is to iterate over ports, ``RTE_ETH_FOREACH_*`` macros
- are better port iterators.
-
* ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE, FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR,
