[dpdk-dev,v2,6/6] doc: announce ethdev API change for detach flag
Checks
Commit Message
The flag RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE will disappear.
This flag is not needed anymore following the hotplug work done for
v17.08. It can be removed, its intent is now implicitly made available
by the relevant EAL and rte_bus implementations.
