I think the first 2 patches should definitely go into 23.07. The latter two
cause a change in how one needs to build DPDK with libs enabled, so we may
want to push that out, and flag the change in advance. Since it's a
relatively minor change, and a build-time one only, I'm fine with it going
in either 23.07 or 23.11, as maintainers decide.
