> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.7.4
> 
> This commit introduces a capability for disabling the "implicit" release
> functionality for a port, which prevents the eventdev PMD from issuing
> outstanding releases for previously dequeued events when dequeuing a new
> batch of events.
> 
> If a PMD does not support this capability, the application will receive an
> error if it attempts to setup a port with implicit releases disabled.
> Otherwise, if the port is configured with implicit releases disabled, the
> application must release each dequeued event by invoking
> rte_event_enqueue_burst() with RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE or
> RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD.
