[dpdk-dev] IMPORTANT: feature freeze for version 1.7.0

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hello all,

We have a lot of new features mostly ready for DPDK 1.7.0.
It's now time to be sure that they are well reviewed and integrated.
Then release candidate should be tagged in mid-June in order to have some 
validation tests before end of June (planned released date).

So requests for integration of features which have not yet been sent will be 
delayed to next version. Only reworks or small fixes of pending patches should 
be accepted.

A new branch "rebased-next" will be created for patches which are reviewed and 
waiting next version. This branch will be regularly rebased on master HEAD.

Being currently on vacation, I won't be very active until Monday, 9th.
During this time, I'd like to see some reviews/acknowledgements for these 
patches:
