Nit Pick;
Title in past tense (correct)

Some sentences in body in current-tense "This API introduces ...",
which I belive should be "This API introduced ..."

s/ "Eventdev library adds" / "Eventdev library added"


Content reads well, perhaps fix above on apply;

+* **Added event driven programming model library (rte_eventdev).**
+
+  This API introduces event driven programming model.
+
+  In a polling model, lcores poll ethdev ports and associated
+  rx queues directly to look for packet. In an event driven model,
+  by contrast, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for
+  them based on programmer-specified criteria. Eventdev library
+  adds support for event driven programming model, which offer
+  applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing,
+  pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and
+  synchronization services to simplify application packet processing.
+
+  By introducing event driven programming model, DPDK can support
+  both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing,
+  and applications are free to choose whatever model
+  (or combination of the two) that best suits their needs.
