+* **Changes to semantics of rte_eth_dev_configure() parameters.**
+
+ If both the ``nb_rx_q`` and ``nb_tx_q`` parameters are zero,
+ ``rte_eth_dev_configure`` will now use PMD-recommended queue sizes, or if
+ recommendations are not provided by the PMD the function will use ethdev
+ fall-back values. Previously setting both of the parameters to zero would
+ have resulted in ``-EINVAL`` being returned.
+
+* **Changes to semantics of rte_eth_rx_queue_setup() parameters.**
+
+ If the ``nb_rx_desc`` parameter is zero, ``rte_eth_rx_queue_setup`` will
+ now use the PMD-recommended Rx ring size, or in the case where the PMD
+ does not provide a recommendation, will use an ethdev-provided
+ fall-back value. Previously, setting ``nb_rx_desc`` to zero would have
+ resulted in an error.
+
+* **Changes to semantics of rte_eth_tx_queue_setup() parameters.**
+
+ If the ``nb_tx_desc`` parameter is zero, ``rte_eth_tx_queue_setup`` will
+ now use the PMD-recommended Tx ring size, or in the case where the PMD
+ does not provide a recoomendation, will use an ethdev-provided
+ fall-back value. Previously, setting ``nb_tx_desc`` to zero would have
+ resulted in an error.
