[dpdk-dev] Experimental symbols in bbdev lib

[Kinsella, Ray]

Hi Nicolas,

I could equally ask is there is any concern with this being a tracked ABI?
The API has seen zero changes in two years - IMHO we'd need a very good reason not standardize it.
As there has been ample opportunities for others to chime in. 

git log --format=oneline --follow v19.11..v21.05 -- lib/bbdev/version.map
99a2dd955fba6e4cc23b77d590a033650ced9c45 lib: remove librte_ prefix from directory names
63b3907833d87288bbc74f370e22f2929ec34594 build: remove library name from version map file name
