[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] doc: announce API and ABI change for ethdev

[Thomas Monjalon]

> > This is an API/ABI change notice for DPDK 17.11 announcing the redefinition of
> > port_id. port_id is currently defined as uint8_t, which is limited to the range 0 to
> > 255. A larger range is required for vdev scalability.
> > 
> > It is necessary for a redefinition of port_id to extend it from 1 bytes to
> > 2 bytes. All ethdev APIs and usages related to port_id will be changed at the
> > same time.
