The mbuf offload flags do not match the DPDK namespace (they are
not prefixed by RTE_). Announce their rename in 21.11, and the

A draft coccinelle script is provided to anticipate what the
renaming will be.

+ ``PKT_RX_EIP_CKSUM_BAD``, ``PKT_TX_QINQ_PKT``) which will be removed.

* pci: To reduce unnecessary ABIs exposed by DPDK bus driver, "rte_bus_pci.h"
will be made internal in 21.11 and macros/data structures/functions defined
in the header will not be considered as ABI anymore. This change is inspired
