Seems ok to me at least :-)

Out of backport experience sometimes it is almost more interesting to cover
which ones where not applied and a one liner why.
So if some patch made it to qualify to be looked at, but then be rejected
it would be great to show up in a list:

    The following fixes were NOT applied in DPDK 16.07.01 Stable Release:

    * examples: fix very-very-unusual-interpreter; Reason: too unusual to
happen

Also I'd pretty much like to get a commit id of the original patch in that
list, so
    * kni: fix crash when removing interface
would be
    * [5544a453] kni: fix crash when removing interface

What about these suggestions?
