* ABI changes are planned for 17.05 in the ``rte_mbuf`` structure: some fields
may be reordered to facilitate the writing of ``data_off``, ``refcnt``, and
``nb_segs`` in one operation, because some platforms have an overhead if the
store address is not naturally aligned. Other mbuf fields, such as the
``port`` field, may be moved or removed as part of this mbuf work. A
``timestamp`` will also be added.
* The mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated and
are respectively replaced by PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED and
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED, that are better described. The old flags and
