* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.11.
Instead, the ``rte_eth_txmode`` structure will be extended with
bit field to enable each Tx offload.
Besides of making the Rx/Tx configuration API more consistent for the
application, PMDs will be able to provide a better out of the box performance.
As part of the work, ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*`` will be superseded as well.
* ethdev: a new Tx and Rx offload API was introduced on 17.11.
In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue offloads.
Offloads are disabled by default and enabled per application request.
The old offloads API is target to be deprecated on 18.05. This includes:
- removal of ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*`` flags.
- removal of ``txq_flags`` field from ``rte_eth_txconf`` struct.
- removal of the offloads bit-field from ``rte_eth_rxmode`` struct.
* ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
