As we are adding a new API and dev_ops, is a driver implementation and
testpmd/example implementation planned for this release?

Can you please keep the order same with 'default.ini' file,
I recognized there is already some mismatch in order but we can fix them
later.

Existing Rx queue count is not documented, if we are documenting this,
can you please add "Rx queue count" in a separate patch?

Can you please group this with 'tx_burst' & 'call_tx_callbacks' above?

Above is good, but do you think does it help to mention that intended

Can you please put an empty line here to have a separate block for trace
code?

Can you please move it above 'tx_descriptor_status', to keep same order
kept in many other locations:
rx_queue_count
rx_descriptor_status
tx_queue_count
tx_descriptor_status

Existing 'rx_queue_count' is missing tracepoints, for consistency, can
you please add that too in a separate patch?
