[dpdk-dev] [RFC PATCHv3 0/7] add OSv support

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi Takuya,

It has been difficult to receive comments on this series during 2.1 cycle.
I see 3 reasons:
- few people know OSv
- the series is mixing C++ support and OSv environment
- you are adding a third system to support while some work is in progress
  to reduce differences between Linux and BSD support.

I suggest to:
- fix doc with John's help
- split C++ and OSv patches
- help to merge Linux and BSD common code
- introduce a common config file for every environments
- re-send OSv support series at the beginning of 2.2 cycle without RFC keyword

Thanks for your work
