[dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to LTS release 17.11.5

[Cao, Yahui]

Hi Yongseok,

The commit 66908eff1 (net/virtio: add missing supported features) is worthless to be backported to 17.11.5 release.

This commit above was to fix the bug caused by commit 4174a7b59 (net/virtio: improve Tx offload features negotiation). Since commit 4174a7b59 is not applied to 17.11, commit 66908eff1 is not necessary.

Thanks,
Yahui

Subject: please help backporting some patches to LTS release 17.11.5

Hi commit authors (and maintainers),

I didn't manage to apply following commits from upstream to stable branch 17.11:
conflict happens. Or, even if a patch could be applied cleanly, some of them caused compilation errors.

I'm wondering can the authors check the following list and backport those patches belong to you?

FYI, branch 17.11 is located at tree:
   git://dpdk.org/dpdk-stable

It'd be great if you could do that in one or two weeks. Also, please add a heading line like below before the commit log body:
    [ backported from upstream commit xxx ]

Example: http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=16.07&id=c4831394c7d1944d8ec27d52c22997f20d19718e

Also please mention the target LTS in the subject line, as we have more than one at the same time, for example:

    [PATCH 17.11] foo/bar: fix baz

With git send-email, this can be achieved by appending the parameter:

    --subject-prefix='17.11'

Please let me know if you have any comments, say, need more time, or it's worthless to packport it. And please send it to "stable at dpdk.org", but not "dev at dpdk.org".

Thanks,
Yongseok
