[dpdk-stable] patch 'vfio: remove unused variable' has been queued to stable release 19.11.4

[luca.boccassi at gmail.com]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 19.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/26/20. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

[ upstream commit f4823a3982fd62993a1a128c2a0396cdbe01be8a ]
