 * 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.
