* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
but release 2.3 will.
+
+* librte_mempool: new fixes and features will be added in 16.07:
+ allocation of large mempool in several virtual memory chunks, new API
+ to populate a mempool, new API to free a mempool, allocation in
+ anonymous mapping, drop of specific dom0 code. These changes will
+ induce a modification of the rte_mempool structure, plus a
+ modification of the API of rte_mempool_obj_iter(), implying a breakage
+ of the ABI.
