>As you probably know, 18.11 LTS is nearing EOL. I would like to get as many of

>dropped while 18.11 is still maintained.

>I didn't apply following commits from DPDK master to 18.11 LTS branch, as

>Can authors check your patches in the following list and either:
>    - Backport your patches to the 18.11 branch, or
>    - Indicate that the patch should not be backported
>
>Some notes on LTS backports:
>
>A backport should contain a reference to the DPDK master branch commit in
>it's commit message in the following fashion:
>    [ upstream commit <commit's dpdk master branch SHA-1 checksum> ]
