   i40e PMD and its vector PMD enabled by default in powerpc.
 
+* **Added VF max bandwidth setting on i40e.**
+
+  i40e HW supports to set the max bandwidth for a VF. Enable this capability.
+
+* **Added VF TC min bandwidth setting on i40e.**
+
+  i40e HW supports to set the allocated bandwidth for a TC on a VF. Enable this
+  capability.
+
+* **Added VF TC max bandwidth setting on i40e.**
+
+  i40e HW supports to set the max bandwidth for a TC on a VF. Enable this
+  capability.
+
+* **Added TC strict priority mode setting on i40e.**
+
+  There're 2 TX scheduling modes supported for TCs by i40e HW, round ribon mode
+  and strict priority mode. By default it's round robin mode. Enable the
+  capability to change the TX scheduling mode for a TC. It's a global setting
+  on a physical port.
+
+* **Added TSO support for tunneled and non-tunneled packets on mlx5 driver.**
+
+  Added support for Hardware TSO for tunneled and non-tunneled packets.
+  Tunneling protocols supported are GRE and VXLAN.
+
+* **Added support for Rx interrupts on mlx5 driver.**
+
+  Rx queues can be armed with an interrupt which will trigger on the
+  next packet arrival.
+
+* **Updated the sfc_efx driver.**
+
+  * Generic flow API support for Ethernet, VLAN, IPv4, IPv6, UDP and TCP
+    pattern items with QUEUE action for ingress traffic.
+
+  * Support virtual functions (VFs)
+
+* **Added LiquidIO network PMD.**
+
+  Added poll mode driver support for Cavium LiquidIO II server adapter VFs.
+
+* **Added support for the Wind River Systems AVP PMD.**
+
+  Added a new networking driver for the AVP device type. Theses devices are
+  specific to the Wind River Systems virtualization platforms.
+
+* **Added vmxnet3 version 3 support.**
+
+  Added support for vmxnet3 version 3 which includes several
