I have added all that were targeted at stable at dpdk, but I remember
that Kevin mentioned a few missing in 20.11.x due to the submissions
missing to go to stable at dpdk.
The same could be the case here.
@Kevin could you have a look at 19.11 and if there are some missing
point me to the commits to pick up?

@Ali - if you have a particular bug signature that might help to
identify the right patch.

Rawhide builds of 19.11.x were broken for a while now, but yeah filing
the bug surely is the right path.
