Sorry, my bad, I wasn't clear enough.

I was thinking about updating "Shared Library Versions" section of the
release notes, and increasing the librte_ethdev.so version (from 5 to 6)
I believe new feature section does not require an update.

If you don't mind I can update library version with previous patch, and
you don't need to send a new version of the patch. Please let me know.
