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

[Ilya Maximets]

Hi.
There is no real need to backport:

 705dced4a  Ilya Maximets    net/virtio: avoid annoying IOPL error log

These messages are visible only since 18.02 because of changes in logging subsystem.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
