 * ``rte_mem_phy2mch`` was used in Xen dom0 to obtain the physical address;
   remove this API as Xen dom0 support was removed.
 
+* **Some data type, structure members and functions related to physical address
+  are deprecated and have new alias with IOVA wording.**
+
+  * ``phys_addr_t`` can be often replaced by ``rte_iova_t`` of same size.
+  * ``RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR`` is often replaced by ``RTE_BAD_IOVA`` of same value.
