A new DPDK release candidate is ready for testing:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tag/?id=v2.1.0-rc2

Except some fixes, there are more features in drivers, a new bnx2x driver
and the introduction of the interrupt mode which was pending for a long time.
Having such features in a RC2 is unusual and must be unrepeatable.
>From now, only important fixes and cleanups will be accepted.

Please test it and check the documentation.

	- enhancements:
		* interrupt mode
		* new bnx2x driver

You are welcome to review or rework the pending fixes for RC3 inclusion:

Some help is also required to check the ABI stability and to validate
the next ABI breakings.

Thank you
